According to Arabic language sources quoted by Israeli sources, a serious incident is taking place in the Gaza strip this evening (local time). Four foreigners armed with automatic weapons entered the Gaza Strip in a vehicle, refusing to obey commands issued by local security. Palestinian security forces gave chase after the suspects, who proceeded to drive to the UN headquarters in Gaza. Once captured, they claimed to be Italian citizens. The security around the UN in Gaza has been tightened and the Italian ambassador to Gaza has arrived to meet with the head of the Hamas political wing, Ismail Haniyeh.
