Would-be Terror of the Day

Would-be bomber killed near Karni

A suicide attack was thwarted Tuesday night after IDF troops shot and killed a Palestinian wearing an explosives belt after he tried to infiltrate into Israel from the Gaza Strip, the army announced Wednesday.

The Palestinian was spotted by soldiers after he tried to enter Israel near the Karni Crossing. He was shot and killed. Soldiers later found his body, strapped with an explosive belt ready to be detonated.
