Kissufim tank ambush
On September 5, 2002, during the Second Intifada, a Merkava II tank was driving along a dirt road near the Kissufim crossing following figures identified as "suspicious" when it was blown up by a 100-kilogram bomb buried under the road. Sgt. Aviad Dotan (21) of Nir Galim was killed instantly; three soldiers were wounded. It took five hours to extricate the surviving soldiers from the burning tank. The tank commander was blown out of the turret hatch but landed unharmed. It was the third deadly Palestinian assault on an Israeli tank in 2002.
