| 2010-06-07 |
| AT LEAST four Palestinians were killed after the Israeli Defence Force fired at militants dressed in diving gear off the coast of Gaza, Haaretz said today. The Israeli military said the Navy spotted men in diving suits, opened fire and prevented a terror attack. "An Israeli naval patrol spotted a boat with four men in diving suits on their way to carry out a terror attack and fired at them identifying hitting them," an Israeli army spokesman said. Palestinian health official Moawiya Hassanain said four bodies in diving suits were retrieved by a rescue team. Hamas security sources said a fifth man was missing, presumed dead. The Palestinian naval police said two people were still missing. The incident occurred before dawn local time today close to the Gaza coast. |

| #1 Did we have another overnight weapons drop? If so, the Israelis should send down some divers and recover it. |
