Palestinian Terrorist Caught with Two Bombs Enroute to Carry out ‘Major Attack' in Tel Aviv
2022-09-10
[Breitbart] A Palestinian terrorist armed with an improvised submachine gun and two bombs was arrested by police officers in the central city of Jaffa on Thursday, on his way to carrying out a “massacre” in Tel Aviv, police said.

The 19-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Nablus was in Israel without a permit. While standing near Jaffa’s iconic clock tower – a major tourist attraction, the teenage terrorist aroused the suspicion of officers from the elite Yassam unit.

They approached him and checked a large bag he was carrying, in which they found a makeshift machine gun often used by Palestinians and two pipe bombs filled with nails.

Police arrested the terrorist who confessed he was looking for a crowded area to explode the bombs.

“He was looking to commit a massacre,” Police Chief Kobi Shabtai said.

A Yassam officer confirmed to Breitbart the young terrorist wanted to inflict as much harm as possible.

“He wanted to ‘go big’ and be remembered as a martyr,” the officer told Breitbart.

Another suspect was detained nearby in his car, and is suspected of driving the would-be bomber to the city.

The terrorist was arrested in April after smuggling a knife into the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem and was sentenced to four months in prison.
