[IsraelTimes] Large bomb found near road frequently used by IDF soldiers, Ynet reports; bomb's characteristics match MO of PIJ, Hezbollah
Paleostinian security forces this week thwarted a West Bank bombing attack against Israeli soldiers intended to hamper ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, in Gazoo, the Ynet news site reported Friday.
Sources told Ynet the PA forces discovered a large bomb composed of gas canisters, explosives and shrapnel near Route 443, on a road frequently used by IDF forces. The bomb could have potentially caused a large number of casualties.
The road connects the Paleostinian villages of Beit Liqya and Beit Anan. PA forces defused the bomb and notified Israeli authorities, the report said.
The sources noted that the bomb’s characteristics matched the modus operandi of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, as well as Leb’s Hezbollah terror group. Israeli security forces were examining both possibilities.
They added that the planned attack was likely imminent, in an attempt to destabilize ongoing negotiations on a long-term ceasefire in the Gazoo Strip between Israel and the Hamas terror organization.
In January PA security forces discovered and dismantled 12 improvised bombs, each weighing between 20 and 30 kilograms, on a road near Tulkarem. They were apparently intended for use against IDF military vehicles passing the area.

seven Paleostinians in connection with the planned attack. They were affiliated with Hamas and some had previously been arrested or interrogated by the PA security forces.
Hamas condemned on Friday a thwarting of a serious terror attack over the last few days by the Palestinian security, involving the use of an extremely powerful bomb on Highway 443, which was intended to blow up an IDF convoy in a bid to sabotage efforts to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The terror group issued an official statement saying it is "surprised at the continued security coordination, in light of what the Palestinian people are going through because of Israel's policies."
