Thursday 19-April-2018

The Israeli occupation army on Wednesday claimed its forces frustrated a massive bombing operation targeting its citizens in Israel (the 1948 occupied lands).

According to the Hebrew website 0404 Israeli soldiers at Umm al-Rayhan checkpoint west of Jenin city in the West Bank intercepted and searched a truck carrying vegetables as its driver was intending to cross into Israel and found homemade pipe bombs stashed aboard it.

A bundle of 10 pipe bombs wired together to form an improvised explosive device was found inside the truck according to Israeli claims.

Israeli security speculations pointed the finger at a group of Palestinians saying they might be behind the intended operation.

The website said the driver was arrested and taken in for interrogation without revealing his identity.
