2 Palestinians arrested for trying to enter Israel with pipe bomb
[IsraelTimes] Police say search of 'suspicious' vehicle at Ein Yael checkpoint uncovers homemade bomb, knife and tens of thousands of shekelsSecurity forces enjugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! two West Bank Paleostinians trying to enter Israel with a pipe bomb Thursday night, police said. A statement from police said the "suspicious" vehicle carrying the Paleostinians was stopped at the Ein Yael checkpoint in southern Jerusalem. A search of the vehicle revealed the homemade bomb, a knife, and tens of thousands of shekels in cash and checks, it said. An army sapper was called to the scene to diffuse the pipe bomb. The suspects were detained for questioning. Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... in northern Jerusalem, shots were fired Thursday night at an Israeli military outpost near the West Bank settlement of Beit El. A number of houses were damaged by the gunfire, but there were no reports of injuries. Both incidents come amid heightened tensions along the Gazoo border, where thousands of Paleostinians have gathered in recent weeks to attend the weekly Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-organized protests against Israel. Earlier on Thursday, a Hamas drone expert who was bumped off in Malaysia last week was buried in Gazoo, sparking Israeli fears the liquidation of Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh, that Hamas has blamed on Israel, would fuel violence at the demonstration. During the weekly demonstrations so far, 35 protesters, including two journalists, have been killed by Israeli live fire, according to Hamas figures. The Paleostinian Health Ministry said 21 of those maimed by Israeli fire in the protests have since had to undergo amputations due to their wounds. It said 17 lost legs and four lost fingers or parts of their upper limbs. Rights groups, the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... and the European Union  ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...have all criticized Israel’s use of live fire against unarmed protesters. Israel says it is defending its border and accuses Hamas of using the demonstrations as cover to plan and carry out attacks.
