 Two days after a 16-year-old Palestinian suicide bomber blew up in the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv killing three Israelis, IDF forces overnight detained a 15-year-old teenager in Nablus, who defense officials said was about to perpetrate a suicide bombing in Israel in the near future. Following the Carmel Market attack, which also originated in Nablus, the IDF stepped up its pressure on the West Bank city, imposing a curfew and searching for wanted terrorists. Defense officials attribute multiple terror attacks to Mari, including sending the two "child-bombers" to the Hawara roadblock, and the detonation of an explosive charge in Masha. As of late, he was engaged in planning additional suicide attacks in Israel. |
