This morning, an IDF soldier was lightly injured when an explosive device was detonated against a force patrolling the Israeli side of the central Gaza Strip's security fence. The soldier was administered initial medical care at the scene and was taken to a hospital for further medical attention.

While searching the area, IDF soldiers discovered a second explosive device, which was detonated in a controlled manner by IDF sappers.

The IDF sees Hamas as responsible for maintaining the peace and quite in the Gaza Strip.
