Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian who crossed into Israel armed with a knife from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army announced today.
It happened late last night just over a week after a ceasefire between Israel and the extremist Hamas ruling Gaza came into effect and as Egypt tries to help broker a longer truce.
As stated by the army, the suspected attacker entered through the border fence near the village of Sde Avram.
One guard told Israeli media that a Palestinian had stabbed him.
The military said the attacker was taken to a nearby hospital, but did not release his condition as Israeli authorities try to determine how he managed to sneak across the border.
More than 11 people, mostly Palestinians, have been killed in the recent 250-day war between Israel and Hamas.
