This morning, school children were spared injury when a suicide terrorist exploded a car bomb as their school bus passed by in the Shomron; no one was hurt. The children, from the towns of Einav and Avnei Hefetz, were on their way to school - via armored school bus - in Shavei Shomron. Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman, quoting army officers on the scene, says that it is likely that the terrorist was headed for Netanya, but did not want to pass through the nearby army checkpoint; when he saw the bus, he decided to make it his target.
A 33-year-old Romanian worker was attacked yesterday by an Arab while traveling in a taxi from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The 19-year-old terrorist from Hevron, a fellow passenger, suddenly shouted in Arabic, “God is Great!” and lunged at the victim with a knife. The victim was hospitalized and was later reported to be in \"light\" condition; the terrorist was turned over to police.
In other weekend violence, soldiers stationed at Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem were attacked twice last night by Palestinian gunfire. No one was hurt, and the soldiers returned fire… Arabs shot at soldiers in several other locations as well… An explosive was discovered in Netanya after a terrorist posing as a painter left it in a paint bucket. An alert store-owner noticed that something was amiss and went over to check; with his suspicions soon confirmed, he began yelling at passers-by to stay away and then alerted police. Damage was caused to some stores during the ensuing controlled explosion, and two women were lightly hurt… In the western Shomron town of Shaarei Tikvah, several houses were damaged by a bomb blast… A house was damaged by sniper fire in Tzur Yigal, adjacent to and on the \"Israeli\" side of the Green Line... An Israeli youth was struck in the face by rocks thrown at his car on the Husan bypass road; he was taken to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
