According to an IDF announcement, the Islamic Jihad terror group in Tul Karem was responsible for the intended attack. The statement also reiterated the claim that followed Friday night’s deadly attack in Tel Aviv, that the terror group is directed from its headquarters in Syria.
This afternoon, IDF forces uncovered a commercial vehicle rigged with a large amount of explosives near the village of Arabeh, near Jenin – an area slated for evacuation and handover to the PA under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan.
The rigged vehicle, which was in the final stages of readiness for the attack, was uncovered with a long cable protruding from it. The cable was attached to a battery and a video camera, intended for the documentation of the terrorist attack.
The truck-bomb was detonated in a controlled manner by IDF sappers.
A similar attack killed 125 people and wounded scores more in central Iraq today.
