A air strike on Thursday by the IAF (Israeli Air Force) apparently thwarted an attempted suicide bombing by Al Qaeda terrorists near the Karni Crossing in Gaza, Arutz Sheva reports.
The planes fired rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at a squad of terrorists who were preparing to carry out a terror attack near the Karni Crossing, killing one. The joint IDF-ISA (Israel Security Agency, also known as “Shin Bet”) operation eliminated the lead terrorist, a member of Global Jihad, and wounded a second one as well. Military sources said al-Qaeda had masterminded the terrorist operation.
IDF officials warned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu last month that the international terrorist group would attempt to infiltrate Israel disguised as Sudanese refugees and that al-Qaeda operatives are attempting to sneak through the holes in the Egyptian border to set up a terror cell in Israel.
