IDF soldiers from the Givati infantry brigade returning after an operation in the Gaza Strip two weeks ago. (AP) Last update - 22:55 26/04/2008 IDF soldiers catch two infiltrators from Gaza Strip By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Infiltration, Israel, Gaza  Israel Defense Forces troops on Saturday evening caught two Palestinians who had infiltrated into Israel from the Gaza Strip near the Kissufim border crossing. Security forces detained the pair, who were apparently unarmed, for questioning and to clarify the circumstances of the incident. A short time earlier, IDF soldiers had hunted for the two men after having been alerted to a suspected infiltration from the coastal strip. Advertisement IDF troops searched the area near Kissufim, where the Palestinians were suspected of having crossed into Israel proper. Residents of local Israeli communities were asked to be alert. Palestinian militants have recently mounted a number of attacks on the coastal strip's border crossings with Israel. Most recently, Hamas gunmen wounded 13 Israeli soldiers in a well-coordinated assault by explosives-laden vehicles against the Kerem Shalom crossing last Saturday. Three days before the attack on Kerem Shalom, Palestinian gunmen killed three IDF soldiers from the Givati infantry Brigade in an ambush next to the Gaza Strip security fence. In another attack the previous week, Gaza terrorists killed two Israeli civilian workers at the Nahal Oz crossing's fuel depot. These attacks came as Egypt was attempting to broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, which rules Gaza.
