(Updated Wednesday 10:15 AM) IDF soldiers discovered a powerful bomb last night, planted by Arabs near Rafiach, in Israel’s southern Mediterranean Coastal area. Sappers destroyed the device, which weighed around 35 pounds. Arabs have used similar sized bombs in attacks on IDF Merkava tanks.
In addition, Arabs opened fire on IDF positions near the Gush Katif communities of Netzarim and Neve Dekalim… A bomb was found and safety detonated near the Binyamin Regional Council Community of Shilo, north of Jerusalem… No injuries were reported in either incident.
A terror alert was in place at the Knesset compound yesterday in response to intelligence warnings of a potential attack on Israel’s parliament. Security surrounding the Knesset was significantly tightened, and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to comb the area.
