"When Israeli troops arrived, militants detonated explosives buried beside the
road, and returned Israeli fire for hours from two sites a mile or two apart.
The attackers were so persistent, or well-trained, that one of the Israeli dead,
an officer in the police anti-terror task force, was killed after dark. The
Israeli defense minister's roadside press conference was abruptly adjourned when
fire erupted again." (thanks Laleh)
