Alert Border Guard policeman thwarted a major car-bomb attack outside Jerusalem late last night. They noticed a suspicious vehicle at a checkpoint along the Minharot (Tunnels) Highway. When they approached the car, the Arab driver got out and ran for cover, seconds before the very large explosive went off. The soldiers succeeded in killing him, but not before he attacked them with rocks and other objects.
Michael Widlanski, a senior analyst for The Media Line, says that the Arab was actually trying to blow up one of the tunnels along the main artery between Gush Etzion and Jerusalem. “Despite the recent Israeli military operation,\" Widlanski said, \"the terror infrastructure of the Palestinians in Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) has not been destroyed.”
Early this morning IDF forces killed four heavily-armed Arabs trying to infiltrate the Gush Katif town of Kfar Darom. It was the ninth foiled infiltration attack in Gush Katif in the last two weeks… Two residents of the Southern Hevron Hills community of Beit Haggai were targeted by Arab gunfire in separate attacks as they traveled in the area… Arabs fired at soldiers guarding Ganei Tal last night, and at another Gaza motorist this morning… Vehicles passing the Israeli-Arab village of Jisr a-Zarka, on the northern stretch of the coastal highway near Haifa, came under a barrage of rocks this morning… No injuries were reported in any of these incidents.
