This is a joint ConGen Jerusalem/Embassy Tel Aviv cable. 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: The body of second Palestinian gunman was 
found late on January 5 near the Erez Crossing, both men 
having been shot and killed after they succeeded in 
approaching the crossing overnight January 4-5 along with a 
group of pilgrims leaving to go on the Hajj.  The militants 
used small arms, anti-tank missiles, and hand grenades 
against the soldiers, who responded in kind, calling in an 
IAF helicopter gunship for support.  In addition to the two 
militants killed, three PA security officers were also 
reportedly injured and the crossing itself was damaged in the 
attack (although it re-opened for Hajj travelers and 
diplomats January 6).  One of the militants was reportedly 
associated with Fatah, the other with PIJ.  A total of 12 PA 
security officers were arrested.  Elsewhere in Gaza, at least 
one Palestinian militant threw hand grenades at an IDF patrol 
after he infiltrated Ganei Tel settlement January 6.  In the 
West Bank, Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an IDF 
headquarters near Jenin on January 5, but no casualties were 
reported.  The IDF arrested a total eight Palestinians 
January 5, mostly near Nablus and Salfit.  End Summary.
