A day after five Israelis were murdered in an attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem’s Har Nof neighborhood, fears were raised that terrorists in the Hamas stronghold of Gaza joined in on the attacks by opening fire on IDF soldiers.
According to reports the IDF force was in the Erez Crossing region to guard work on the border with Gaza, at which gunshots were heard. In response, the IDF deployed smoke grenades to provide security cover.
The IDF has clarified that terrorists did not fire into Israeli sovereign territory, and that none were wounded in the incident.
