IDF catches two Palestinian teens with bombs at West Bank checkpoint
By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service
Security forces on Friday found three bombs in a bag belonging to two Palestinian teenagers at the Hawara checkpoint south of Nablus in the West Bank.
The youths were taken for questioning following the discovery, and sappers blew up the bombs in a controlled explosion.
Earlier, five mortar shells were fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip toward Israeli territory. All of the shells struck inside Gaza, near the fence on the border with Israel.
Also on Friday, Palestinians opened fire on Israel Defense Forces troops patrolling the Gaza border fence. No one was hurt in the shooting.
In the West Bank, damage to an Israeli car was caused near Nablus by a Molotov cocktail and stones thrown by Palestinian militants. No one was hurt in that incident, either.
