 An attempt to detonate a car bomb on the tunnels highway south of Jerusalem or in the capital itself was foiled on Thursday afternoon. Palestinian security officials in the nearby Bethlehem region claimed that they found the car - which was filled with gas canisters and tires soaked with gasoline - and handed it over to the IDF. An IDF spokesperson confirmed that the army did have a car bomb in its possession and was in the process of neutralizing it. However, he said it was still unclear whether PA forces had uncovered the car. An alert delayed traffic at a main entrance to Bethlehem. |
