There were clashes during the night in Rafah between the Palestinian resistance and the IOF, and they intensified after Israel killed 4 Palestinians in the area.
Shortly afterwards the Israeli media reported a 'serious security incident' in Kerem Shalom, a few kilometers south of Rafah and the Israeli army declared it a 'close military zone'. Minutes later Israel announced the end of the 72-hour 'humanitarian ceasefire' that started at 8 a.m. this morning.
Later was announced that the 'security incident' referred to the capturing of an Israeli soldier and the killing of two others by the Palestinian resistance. Although Hamas claimed responsibility for the killings no one has yet claimed responsibility for the captured soldier. He has been identified as Hadar Goldin, 23 years old.
This morning before the ceasefire came into effect 16 Palestinians were killed in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip. In the first hours of the 'humanitarian' ceasefire 4 other Palestinians were killed in Rafah, and later on, during the intense bombing that took place also in Rafah more than 40 Palestinians were killed. Two Palestinians were killed in the afternoon in central Gaza, Atef Suheil
Qandil, 24, and Ab al-Malek Abu Ma'ala, 37. Three other were killed in Gaza City, two in Beit Lahiya and two others in the south of the Gaza Strip.
