Two pipe bombs were found at the Beit Furik Junction near Nablus, between Elon Moreh and Itamar in the Samarian Hills on Sunday morning.

Police sappers were on site to neutralize the explosives.

The Palestinian terrorist who stabbed a 32 year old IDF reservist soldier at a  bus stop near Nablus on Thursday afternoon was apprehended by security forces shortly before midnight. Following an intelligence tip-off, a Border Police counter terrorism unit arrested the 19-year-old suspect. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman praised security forces for “outstanding intelligence work,”  adding that a further mission remained to catch the terrorist who shot dead two people at the Barkan industrial zone earlier this week.

The IDF destroyed a cross border tunnel near Khan Younes in the northern Gaza Strip Thursday morning.  “We just destroyed a cross-border terror tunnel that infiltrated Israel from Gaza, built by Hamas with the aim of carrying out an attack on a nearby Israeli community. This is the 15th tunnel we’ve destroyed in the last year,” an IDF spokesman tweeted.

Police and the explosives disposal unit were summoned to Emek HaMatzleva (the Valley of the Cross) Park in Jerusalem, following a report of incendiary balloons found in the area.

The balloons were found by a civilian who gathered the balloons and left the area before calling the police. Sappers collected the items and are conducting further searches.

On Wednesday, an incendiary balloon landed in a kindergarten construction site on Emek Refaim Street in Jerusalem’s German Colony.

The IDF has confirmed that there were no rocket launches identified from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory on Thursday morning.

According to the IDF Spokesperson, the Iron Dome aerial defense system launched one interceptor following a false identification.

This comes after rocket alert sirens sounded across the Shaar HaNegev and Sedot Negev regions in southern Israel just after 10 a.m.
