opened fire on an IDF force securing laborers doing work on the border fence this morning

In response to the fire, the IDF said that it carried out attacks on relevant targets in Gaza, with both tank fire and an air strike. The incident occurred on the border between  Israel and southern Gaza, and Israel's return fire targeted Hamas positions. Hamas media reported that a Hamas field commander was killed by the IDF fire and several people were injured.


Islamic state fighters said today that they had shot down a warplane in the northeastern Syria province of Raqqa and taken the pilot captive.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said it had confirmed reports the plane was brought down near Raqqa city, a major stronghold for Islamic State fighters. Events in Syria are difficult to verify because of restricted media access to conflict zones. Islamic State social media accounts published pictures purportedly of the warplane's pilot being held by the group's fighters and said he was Jordanian. It was not possible to verify the images.
