An officer in the IDF intelligence branch reported to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Knesset committee that terrorists cells have take advantage of a breach in the Philadelphi crossing between Egypt and Gaza, and have moved to Sinai in an attempt to arrive in Israel and carry out a suicide attack.
The officer also reported that Hizbullah is trying to drag Syria into the confrontation, following Hizbullah's attempt to shoot rockets at the Golan Heights, hoping that they would land on the Syrian side and thus trigger a response from Damascus. Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, IDF Chief of the General Staff, said that Israel has no interests against Syria.
