Also on Tuesday, three more Palestinians were caught trying to bring pipe bombs in the area.
A military police officer thwarted two attacks within two months: Sergeant Ilan Nemirovsky uncovered yesterday (Tuesday) an explosive device that a Palestinian tried to bring into the court, after finding a similar device about two months ago.
A 17-year-old Palestinian arrived yesterday at the entrance to the courthouse in Salam and aroused the suspicion of the military police and Border Guard soldiers at the entrance, after he had passed several times at the metal detector post and was being asked to undress.
Sergeant Nemirovsky, a military policeman who served in the Salem court for about two years, said: "He came to this entrance and aroused my suspicion, especially in his dress, I checked him like I do for everyone and passed him through the magnometer. It continued to beep and showed me that the source of the beep was in the area of his pants, and I told him to take off his pants and he showed the device and put it on the table. It was an improvised explosive charge, and the court was immediately closed for entry and exit. A police sapper who was summoned to the scene finally neutralized the explosive charge, which contained explosives, including fragments of knives, to increase the damage.
As noted, Sergeant Nemirovsky is already practiced in such cases. About two months ago, a Palestinian youth , about 16 years old, also arrived at the courthouse and aroused his suspicion. "I felt that something was wrong and I checked him " I asked him to go through the magnometer a few times, and then I performed a skin removal procedure and discovered the cargo in his pants, "Nemirovsky said." We are always alert, know the job and do what we need. "
Seven attempts by Palestinian youth to attack Israelis were thwarted in the past eight months. This is a photo of a pipe bomb discovered outside that same courthouse in October that was being planted by another "child" of 17:
These stories don't get published in English, because the terror attacks are stopped before they start. But these are "children" who are trying to smuggle pipe bombs on their bodies - no doubt built by Palestinian terror adults who are using the youths as willing human bombs.
The media makes it look like all Palestinian youths in custody are rock throwers (which is bad enough) or otherwise innocuous. No one wants to report that these "children" are also carrying bombs intended to kill and injure dozens. It doesn't fit with the conventional view of the conflict, so it is too difficult to mention.
