IDF arrests 60 Gazans; mortar hits Negev home, but doesn't explode

The Israel Defense Forces arrested 60 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday over suspicions they were involved in terrorist activity. The detainees were taken to Israel for questioning.

The arrest raid took place during an IDF engineering corps operation in the Gaza neighborhood of Sajaiya. The troops have all left the area and returned to Israel.

Meanwhile Thursday, a mortar shell fired from the Gaza Strip directly hit a home in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional council, but did not explode. Some property damage resulted from the strike. Earlier, Gaza militants fired five mortar shells and three Qassam rockets into the western Negev. Two Qassams struck just south of Ashkelon and the third hit the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported in these strikes.

On Wednesday, two Palestinian militants were killed in an Israel Air Force strike in the southern Gaza Strip. The two were Hamas activist Osama al-Outi and Islamic Jihad man Abed a-Razek Abu Moammar.

Also on Wednesday, an IDF soldier was lightly wounded during a military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces often operate in the Gaza Strip in effort to halt rocket and mortar shell fire.
