VIDEO - IDF troops operating in the Dahaniya area in southern Gaza throughout Sunday uncovered five tunnels used for weapons smuggling and arrested some 50 Palestinians suspected of terror activity. The men have been detained for initial questioning.
Forces came under fire on several instances and responded towards the gunmen. No injuries have been reported.
Forces also detained some 50 Palestinians suspected of involvement in terror activity.
Three Palestinians were killed and five more were wounded in an IDF strike on Saturday. The army said troops targeted a Palestinian cell in northern Gaza that was moments away from firing a Qassam rocket while Palestinian sources claimed the three men were unarmed civilians uninvolved in terror.
Contradictory Palestinian reports say the three were either Fatah political operatives unaffiliated with the movement's military wing, the al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigades or - according to a report by the Associated Press - three Jordanian bankers holding a picnic in an open field with the missile struck.
