Israeli officials say their forces killed two armed Palestinian men who attempted to infiltrate a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip while dressed in Israeli soldier uniforms. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade has claimed responsibility for today's failed attack. This incident occurred hours after Abdul Razak al-Yihya, the Palestinian Authority's Minister of Interior, met with representatives from over ten Palestinian militant groups and urged them to accept a new security plan approved by Israeli and Palestinian officials. According to this plan, attacks against Israelis will cease in exchange for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from re-occupied Palestinian areas.
