IDF soldiers operating in Gaza on Saturday afternoon thwarted a major car bomb attack between the communities of Dugit and Elei Sinai. Troops discovered a vehicle containing close to 200 kilograms (440 lbs) of explosives including mortar shells, launchers, and nails. The soldiers were able to destroy the vehicle without incident. Late Friday afternoon, a much smaller car bomb was discovered and successfully detonated in the same area.
