IDF: Explosives carried by Palestinian youth were to be used in Tel Aviv
By JPOST.COM STAFF
The explosive devices discovered by troops at the Beit Iba checkpoint in Nablus earlier Sunday concealed by a Palestinian youth were to be used in a terror attack in Tel Aviv, the IDF said.
The boy was ordered to transfer the explosives to terror operatives beyond the checkpoint so that they could piece together a suicide bomb belt with the three explosives devices as well as several more already in their possession.
Border Police sappers detonated the explosive devices in a controlled manner and the youth was transferred for security interrogations.
