‘Erez Attack Could Have Been Far Worse’
Excerpts;
An Islamic Jihad suicide bomber driving a truck loaded with four tons of explosives tried to ram the crossing early in the day.
The truck exploded on the Gaza side of the border, blowing a hole in a pedestrian passageway leading out of the terminal and into Gaza. But no pedestrians were there because it was still early and the IDF said no soldiers were wounded.
Shortly after the explosion, an IAF helicopter fired a missile at a nearby jeep which the army said was accompanying the exploding truck. The army said that terrorists apparently planned to use the jeep to kidnap soldiers or to penetrate across the border after the explosion.
