A large terrorist attack which would probably have resulted in a killing spree either inside Israel or along the border was stopped by the IDF who were ambushed. What were the IDF soldiers doing? They had been giving water to a group of African migrants who had arrived at the border trying to cross into Israel.
As they were doing that good deed, a heavily armed terrorist cell from the Sinai Peninsula opened fire on them, killing Netanel Yahalomi, age 20, and injuring another. The shots came from a distance of 100 meters. Netanel was killed immediately with a bullet wound to his head. The soldiers instantly returned fire and shot and killed 2 of the terrorists. A group of Border Patrol soldiers also responded, gave chase and killed the 3rd.
One of the terrorists was wearing a suicide bomb belt and it went off. Shrapnel from that injured one soldier enough to rush him to Be'ersheba where he was operated on. IDF sappers recovered a lot of firearms and explosives after the incident including an RPD machine gun and a rocket propelled grenade, Kalashnikov guns, ammunition, grenades and personal equipment. They were dressed as civilians.
Of course it happened along the border where the fence hasn't yet been completed.
"Border security incidents have increased over the past 18 months as a wave of lawlessness has gripped the Sinai since the overthrow of veteran Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak."
