The Israeli military estimates that terrorists were on their way to carry out a large-scale attack against civilians when soldiers intervened and prevented it. Initial investigations reveal that soldiers were setting up a roadblock near the "Philbox" position when they spotted the approaching terrorists. The cell reportedly arrived in a vehicle with Israeli license plates.
During an exchange of fire that ensued, five Israelis were injured, two of them critically. The terrorists were ultimately neutralized. The military is investigating whether the cell was part of a larger terrorist infrastructure.
Further complicating the incident, the terrorists were filmed by a professional camera, leading the IDF to suspect that a foreign photographer may have been tipped off in advance about their planned attack. Dramatic accounts from the scene describe moments of terror, with witnesses heard shouting for help as gunfire continued for over 20 minutes, hindering rescue efforts for the wounded.
