Israel

A small, joint Islamic Jihad and al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades force pushed through the border crossing at Kissufim, from Gaza into Israel, and battled Israeli troops in an apparent attempt to kidnap an Israeli soldier. One terrorist was killed. PM Olmert offered to return the Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for peace.
