An apparent infiltration attempt at the Kerem Shalom crossing on the Gaza border was prevented by the IDF's Beduin desert reconnaissance battalion Thursday. Shots were reportedly fired at three Palestinian gunmen who moved into the Palestinian side of the crossing. One of the gunmen was shot and killed, and one injured. The third gunman fled the scene, and was being pursued by IDF troops. The IDF believed that the men were trying to infiltrate the Israeli side of the crossing in order to carry out an attack. Kerem Shalom, located in the southern Gaza strip, is currently the main crossing used to transfer food and medical supplies to the Gaza Strip.
