They caught the kid with a bomb belt on.
The haredi Nahal unit of the IDF captured an 18-year-old Palestinian suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt at the Beka’ot roadblock in the Jordan Valley on Wednesday afternoon.
The belt held approximately 10kg of explosives, Jordan Valley Battalion Commander Col. Moti Elmoz told Israel Radio.
Sappers were defusing the bomb.
It was still unclear which organization was responsible for the bombing attempt, Elmoz added.
Elmoz also mentioned that in an initial interrogation, the terrorist, who came from Nablus, had said that he just wanted to kill himself.
Wonderful. They picked another kid and brainwashed him.
Say, that’s the second terror attack a haredi unit has prevented in the last few days. You know, what with all the demonization of the haredi, I was starting to think they were all monsters or something.
No, not really. But I’ll leave that for the post I’m writing about religion and Jews.
Once they make the decision to blow themselves up, their life is forfeit. They are morally nothing more than an engine of death, the flesh skin of a Terminator robot.
Stick him in a concrete bunker and set off the explosives.
But that would make it so much harder to understand their motivation.
