An Arab suicide bomber detonated his explosives this morning, near border police stationed outside of the Israeli Arab community of Marja, east of Netanya, killing only himself. No injuries were sustained by the border police officers. The attempted attack occurred just west of the location where Israel has begun construction of a “security” fence in order to separate Israeli cities from Palestinian areas.
Many Israelis are against the construction of the security fence in fear that the fence will serve as a future border between Israel and a Palestinian State. The Women in Green organization will be protesting against the construction of the fence at a demonstration outside of the Knesset in Jerusalem this morning. Women In Green’s Nadia Matar told Arutz 7 yesterday that “the building of this political fence is a deceit by the Israeli left in order to bring Israel back to the narrow waist of 1967.” Matar added that, “ No fence will bring security. Only the complete defeat and destruction of the enemy will bring us back security.”
