<p>Channel 6 News » GAZA STRIP (BNO NEWS) &#8212; Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday  fired at two Palestinians on the Gaza border as they attempted to plant  an explosive, the Haaretz newspaper reported.</p>
<p>One suspect was wounded by an IDF shell after Israeli soldiers fired  at the two Palestinians who were approaching the fence on the border  between Israel and Gaza near Kibbutz Kfar Aza.</p>
<p>IDF forces used a tank to disrupt the alleged terror plot from the  two Palestinians, according to reports. There were no IDF casualties or  injuries in the shooting and militants often attempt to plant explosives  on the border fence without success so far.</p>
<p>Last week, Hamas informed that representatives of various Palestinian  factions agreed to stop rocket attacks on Israeli territory near the  Gaza Strip. The decision was taken in order to avoid a new Israeli  military intervention.</p>
<p>However, the two suspected militants attempted to plant explosives on  the Gaza border mere days after the announcement. In recent months,  Hamas officials have urged Palestinians to restrain from launching  attacks on their neighbors.</p>
<p>The Israeli region of Ashkelon and the southern area of Gaza Strip  have been the target of an ongoing series of rocket attacks between  Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian militants.</p>
<p>In the winter of 2008-2009, Israel launched a surprise air strike  against the Gaza Strip which marked the beginning of a three-week  military conflict between Israel and Hamas, killing nearly 1,500 people  and leaving thousands more injured and displaced.</p>
