Jerusalem, 18 December, 2019 (TPS) -- IDF soldiers on Tuesday spotted an armed terrorist from the Gaza Strip approaching the security fence with Israel.

An IDF aircraft targeted the terrorist. A hit was identified, the IDF stated.

No Israelis were wounded in the incident.

Infiltration attempts on the border with the Strip happen several times a week, usually by Gazan Arabs seeking work in Israel. However, the Israeli forces treat each such incident as a potential terrorist attack.
