A FEW DAYS OF TERROR

Four Israelis Killed in West Bank Suicide Bombing - Amos Harel and Jonathan Lis
Four Israelis were killed when a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated explosives in a car Thursday night at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Kedumim. The Israelis had apparently picked up the suicide bomber, who was likely dressed as an observant Jew, as he was hitchhiking. A group linked to Fatah claimed responsibility. Two of the victims were identified Friday as Ilana and Rafi Levy, both 60, from Kedumim. The other fatalities are a 16-year-old boy from Kedumim and Reut Feldman, 20, from Herzliya. (Ha'aretz)

IDF Foils Palestinian Suicide Bombing - Efrat Weiss
IDF troops on Wednesday detained a Palestinian at the Bekaot checkpoint in the Jordan Valley carrying a 10-kilogram explosives belt. The Palestinian raised suspicions when soldiers saw wires sticking out from under his shirt. The Palestinian told interrogators he was given the device in Nablus and told to cross the checkpoint and wait for a man who would take him to blow himself up in a Jordan Valley community or within Israel. Regional Brigade commander Moti Almoz said the troops who detained the suspect foiled a large-scale attack. (Ynet News)
