Saturday mission worst since pullout

"This is the worst attack we've seen since the disengagement," said Israeli occupation army Southern Command Chief Major-General Yoav Galant Saturday, during a visit to the scene of the Palestinian resistance operation at the Kerem Shalom goods crossing.
 
Thirteen occupation soldiers were wounded Saturday morning, as Palestinian fighters detonated car bombs, fired mortar shells and opened fire on the troops.

Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the group's military wing, claimed responsibility for the attack. "This incident spanned the entire sector. It was an attempt to abduct and kill as many soldiers as possible," said Galant.
