Terrorattack förhindrades i Samarien nära Jenin

Tack vare uppmärksamma soldater förhindrades en terrorattack utanför Jenin idag.En israelisk militärpolis upptäckte att  en av de palestinska män som skulle passera hade något misstänkt under jackan. Det visade sig att han hade tre bomber på sig och ytterligare åtta i väskan.

I december inträffade dubbelt fler terror relaterade incidenter än under november, en oroande utveckling.
