Car, IDF patrol come under fire north of Eilat; IDF raids Rafah
A civilian Israeli vehicle traveling some 30 kilometers northwest of Eilat came under fire on Tuesday morning. The gunmen also hurled a hand grenade at the vehicle and opened fire on an Israel Defense Forces patrol vehicle which was called to the area to investigate the incident.

The gunmen opened fire from the west around 4 A.M. as the car traveled on Route 12, the road linking Ovda airport to the Red Sea resort city. The driver accelerated, and drove on to an IDF checkpoint some 10 kilometers west of Eilat and reported the incident. No injuries were reported.

2. the IDF
Know that targeting civilians is a war crime. They arrived on the scene shortly and were targeted as well. Does that make the terrorists "legitimate"?
