Female soldier prevents attack; 3 Palestinians nabbed

Three Palestinians carrying nine pipe bombs apprehended at roadblock near Nablus

Female soldier prevents attack: The IDF nabbed three Palestinians carrying nine pipe bombs at a roadblock west of Nablus Sunday evening, apparently averting a planned terror attack in Israel.

The attack was foiled as a result of the alertness and insistence of a female soldier at the checkpoint. No injuries were reported in the incident.

A similar attack was thwarted at a different roadblock near Nablus last week. A Palestinian who arrived at the checkpoint with a plastic bag aroused the suspicions of Golani troops and members of the IDF's crossings' unit. The soldiers dispatched a sapper, who discovered two small pipe bombs in the bag and blew them up.

2. meanwhile "settlers" were "defending" "their" land
and shooting how many 5 year old kids or running over how many with bulldozers? There are no "good" sides in that conflict.
