Israeli soldier secures an area of Gaza recently after an attack by Palestinians.

(Palestine) - Earlier this week, Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers foiled an attempt to infiltrate the Jewish town of Har Bracha in the northern Shomron. The soldiers noticed the armed terrorist trying to enter the town and upon discovery, he opened fire and was killed by IDF return fire. The soldiers found a Kalashnikov (AK-47) rifle on his person as well as several clips of ammunition.

WAFA, the official PA news agency reported that the “occupational forces” had killed a “35-year-old youth in Bracha, near Gaza – for no apparent reason.”

The WAFA article attributed the information to a source within the Gaza-based Preventative Security Forces, continuing: “The source reported that Israel Occupation Forces [sic] near the settlement of Bracha – located east of Gaza City – opened fire upon the youth, killing him for no apparent reason and with no provocation whatsoever.”
