The terrorists were on route to the Yom Ha’atzmaut celebrations — the Independence Day event that just kicked off.

Israeli security personnel saved countless Jewish lives by implementing the so-called “gift protocol” – the procedure that is used when a potential explosive is discovered

Security inspectors at the Reihan Crossing west of Jenin discovered a powerful 10-kilogram bomb (22 lb.) hidden in the roof of a Palestinian Authority Arab truck. The terrorists planned to use the bomb during Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day which begins this evening.

The truck, which was stolen, did not match the license plate – which belonged to an entirely different vehicle.

The crossing was closed and the Arab driver was arrested.

The delivery truck was loaded with merchandise prepared for delivery to Jewish communities along the “Green Line,” also known as the 1949 Armistice Line.

IDF soldiers, a Shin Bet intelligence officer and a unit of military sappers were immediately summoned to the scene.

“I am proud of the security inspectors who acted precisely as we expect them to, from identification of the suspicious truck to the identification of the attempt to smuggle the “package” that turned out to be a bomb which was apparently intended to be used in an attack on Yom Ha’Atzma’ut (Independence Day),” said Defense Ministry Crossing Authority director Erez Sidon.

As of late afternoon Wednesday the bomb squad was still working to dismantle the explosive.

Lucky Israelis are sane people. Some people might have detonated the bomb along with the driver.

Why disarm the bomb? Send it back over to pally’s stolen area .. and detonate it. Save on time and the risk to human beings.

Precisely, the bomb should be delivered to the terrorist authority, then detonated immediately.

It’s disarmed in a way that enables components to be analyzed (for intelligence purposes). Experts will quickly determine everything there is to know about the bomb, origins of all its parts and the terror network itself.

If it (truck) was just driven into a crowd of moslems, then detonated, what better way for the pally’s to celebrate their march to return? A wondrous firework’s display.

When a human being attempts to have ANY discussion, with a moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) …. they should know that they’re asking …. It is absolutely impossible to communicate with something that is a descendant of the cross-breeding of monkeys with pigs.
