Palestinians crossing through checkpoint
Two Palestinians and an Israeli were wounded in a clash along the Gaza Border. The Palestinians were caught placing explosives along a security fence and Israeli soldiers responded with gunfire. Ma'an News Agency also reported the death of two Palestinians from Israeli shelling prior to the reported clash last night.
Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to be sworn in as the new Israeli Prime Minister later today. Kadima has proposed delaying the swearing-in amidst disagreements within the new cabinet and coalition government.
