On 17 August 2017, a suicide bomber detonated on the Palestinian side of Rafah Border Crossing. The man and his companion were described in most sources as members of ISIS. When the Hamas government border guard attempted to apprehend the two men, one of them detonated a suicide bomb, killing the guard, and injuring 5 others, one severely. The other offender was also injured in the attack.[1] The severely wounded border guard died of his wounds.[2][3] The first guard who died was a 28 year old man from the Gaza Strip.[1]
