On 21 September 2012, three Egyptian heavily-armed terrorists, dressed as civilians, wearing explosive belts, and carrying rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, approached the Egyptian-Israeli border at an area where the Israel-Egypt barrier remained incomplete. In the ensuing gunfight, the three terrorists were killed by members of the mixed-gender Caracal Battalion, while one Israeli soldier, 20-year-old Netanel Yahalomi, was killed by the terrorists. Another Israeli soldier was lightly injured.
The jihadist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdes, an al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist organization based in the Sinai Peninsula, claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.
