IDF says it detonated large bomb placed on Gaza fence, foiling attack
[IsraelTimes] Military says IED planted during recent riot proves Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", is trying to keep border festivities going, despite ceasefire talks

The Israeli military on Thursday detonated a large bomb that had been placed along the Gazoo security fence by Paleostinians during a recent riot, the army said.

The Israel Defense Forces said the placement of the improvised bomb showed that the Gazoo-ruling Hamas terror group was trying to keep up the festivities along the border, despite the reported ongoing ceasefire talks with Israel.

The large IED, which was placed inside a blue jerrycan, was found earlier this week by the IDF next to the security fence in the southern Gazoo Strip.

On Thursday morning, the military destroyed the bomb in a controlled kaboom, the army said.

"The cell of bandidos Death Eaters that planted the bomb planned to injure IDF soldiers and interrupt the operations of forces working in the area," the army said.

"IDF soldiers foiled the attempted terror attack. There were no injuries, and no damage was caused," the military said in a statement.

According to the IDF, the bomb was placed along the fence during a riot earlier in the week.

"The planting of the bomb by the terrorist cell under the cover of a violent demonstration is further evidence that the Hamas terror group is working to maintain the conflict in the fence area and to injure IDF soldiers, while using residents of the Gazoo Strip as human shields and as cover for terrorist activities," the army said.

On Monday, several thousand Paleostinians rioted along the Gazoo security fence, burning tires and throwing rocks at IDF troops on the other side, the army said.
