An Israeli soldier was seriously wounded Sunday as Israel pushed ahead with its limited war against Gaza-originating terrorism.
The member of an elite IDF unit was shot in the shoulder as Israel used troops supported by tanks and warplanes against terrorists who were firing mortars and machine guns in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Three armed Arabs and an alleged civilian were killed as they clashed with the Israeli forces who had gone in to clear and demolish buildings that were being used for attacks against Israelis.
Meanwhile, 16 Arab suspects were detained in Samaria and Judea Sunday as Israeli security forces continued their round-the-clock effort to thwart "Palestinian" terrorism.
