ISRAELI ESCAPES PALI KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT

Israeli Escapes Palestinian Kidnapping Attempt in West Bank
Palestinians tried to kidnap an Israeli man at a bus stop at the Eli Junction north of Ramallah in the West Bank on Sunday. The man reported to the IDF that Palestinians had tried to force him into their car, but he escaped. Border Policemen stopped a car that matched the description given by the man and found three Palestinians with two pistols and a large quantity of ammunition. Another kidnapping attempt was reported by hitchhikers at the Tapuah Junction north of Eli, who said the car's occupants were dressed as Jews. The army has received several intelligence warnings of plans by terrorist groups to kidnap Jewish civilians or soldiers. (Ha'aretz)
