Attacks by Palestinians continue despite truce

JERUSALEM (May 25 ) - Since Israel's announcement of a cease-fire on Tuesday night, there have been over 40 attacks directed at Israeli soldiers and civilians, including the death of Modi'in resident Asher Iluz gunned down by Palestinian terrorists near Ariel on Wednesday afternoon.

Palestinians reported that soldiers shot and killed an 11-year-old deaf boy named Shadi Siyam near Rafah yesterday and wounded two others during gun battles between Palestinians and soldiers in the area. Siyam is the first Palestinian to be killed since Israel announced a cease-fire.

An IDF officer was lightly wounded by shrapnel after a bomb was detonated and shots fired at soldiers operating on the Israeli-Egyptian border near Rafah. The officer was treated at a nearby army base.

Gun battles between the sides in the Rafah area continued throughout the afternoon.

Yesterday morning Palestinians fired two mortar shells at Netzarim. Soldiers pursued the perpetrators into Area A and came under fire. The soldiers returned fire and later left the area without succeeding in capturing the perpetrators.

Shots were also fired at the industrial zone at Neveh Dekalim, and bullets penetrated a truck but no one was injured.

Police are seeking to determine the identity of a Palestinian man whose body was discovered near the village A-Dik yesterday, not far from Givon.

Judea and Samaria Police spokesman Rafi Yafe said the Palestinian Police informed their Israeli counterparts after locals reported the body to them. At first police feared it might be the body of the missing Israeli contracter Yosef Alfassi, but discovered the Palestinian who Yafe said is around 30 and believed to be from the village El Jib.

Last night shots were fired at soldiers posted at Rachel's Tomb, at Givat Hadagan, and a border police base near Bethlehem. Earlier shots were fired at an IDF vehicle as it traveled between the two tunnels on the Gush Etzion road. Earlier a bomb was thrown at soldiers near Beit Hadassah in Hebron. Yesterday morning shots were fired at an IDF vehicle near Halhoul and at Givat Oz north of Jenin.
