Hamas terrorists fired two mortars at the Israeli town of Sderot -- one falling on an IDF post and the other in an open field -- at the same moment PA "security officials" claim to have stopped a group of terrorists at a checkpoint, where police uncovered a treasure trove of mortars and rockets ready to go.
Security forces say they battled terrorists, and two Hamas members were arrested.
Though the two sides exchanged gunfire, there were no reports of injuries.
Likewise, no casualties were reported when mortar shells later landed near a settlement in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the last few days, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and his interior minister, Nasser Yusef, have warned Palestinian factions that the Authority will take an iron fist to those who break the law, giving specific orders to end attacks on Israeli targets.
A Hamas spokesman warned the PA against any injury to the members of his organization or of other groups: "Any injury to Palestinian activists will mean the collapse of any efforts to calm things down and the enemy will pay the price," said Abu Zuhairi on Al-Jazeerah TV.
