I really don’t understand why Ynet says that the IDF prevented this suicide car bomb attack from happening when it’s clear that it was divine intervention, but at least there was no Passover Massacre this year:
A major suicide attack on Tel Aviv was prevented this Passover, as Shin Bet and IDF forces arrested 19 Hamas members in the West Bank city of Qalqilya for planning a car bomb containing some 220 lbs of explosives, it was cleared for publication on Tuesday.
Investigations revealed that the suicide bomber, a holder of an Israeli ID obtained through family unification, had already reached the center of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area with the vehicle, but for unknown reasons did not carry out the attack and returned to Qalqilya, where the bomb accidentally exploded.
This is also yet another example of terrorists taking advantage of the reunification act, which allows Palestinians outside Israel to be unified with their families inside, and has been abused for terror attacks before.
Perhaps this is why the article talks about the IDF preventing terror attacks:
Following a recent wave of arrests of Hamas members in Qalqilya, it became apparent that the organization’s men in the city were working toward committing attacks against Israel’s home front as soon as possible, after a period of re-strengthening and building up abilities.
The arrests were carried out before Passover, in order to ensure a safe holiday. The IDF and Shin Bet are currently continuing investigations in an effort to thwart further terror activity.
The investigations showed that the group was plotting to carry out a number of different attacks in Israel in addition to this car bomb.
Yes, this is Hamas, the group that is holding Gilad Shalit and wants Israel to release hundreds of murderers in exchange for one Israeli boy. Here’s hoping that Olmert grows a spine and refuses to allow the release of murderers.
HAMAS is a synonym for MURDERERS.
