Israeli Defense Forces foiled a terrorist attack Thursday night at the entrance to the Jewish community of Beit El in the Binyamin region, preventing what could have been a tragedy of catastrophic proportions within the town had the terrorists managed to make it through the gates.
The terrorists hurled firebombs (Molotov cocktails) at the soldiers who were guarding the entrance to the community and who opened fire in response, according to local sources.
