Police have located a bomb concealed on the roof of a truck at the Samarian Reihan crossing. The driver was arrested and transferred to security forces for questioning.
The head of the Defense Ministry's Crossing Authority, Erez Sidon, praised the security forces for locating the explosives.
"I am proud of the security inspectors who acted exactly as we expect them to, from the identification of the suspicious truck to the identification of the attempted smuggling that eventually turned out to be an explosive device that was apparently intended to carry out an attack during Independence Day," Sidon said.
