Jewish settlers on Sunday morning placed explosive devices outside a Palestinian school in al-Khalil in the West Bank as well as at an entrance to the Ibrahimi Mosque.
Local sources said that settlers booby-trapped the outer stairs of the Ibrahimiya School near the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil.
They added that Israeli soldiers evacuated the school after local residents found the explosive devices.
A cluster of explosive devices were also found at one of the entrances to the Ibrahimi Mosque.
A massacre would have happened if the explosive devices had not been found a Palestinian official in the city said.
