TERROR PLOT FOILED: Israeli Troops Stop ‘TERROR TRUCK’ at Border Crossing
Israeli officials confirmed Wednesday that a “large-scale” terror attack was thwarted just hours before citizens were poised to celebrate the Jewish State’s 70-year anniversary.
Israeli guards and soldiers stopped the explosives-packed truck at a northern West Bank border crossing on Independence Day; discovering the bomb-material hidden in the vehicle’s roof, air conditioning system, and engine.
According to the Times of Israel, police managed to diffuse the bomb without incident; preventing a devastating terror attack that could have killed thousands.
