An explosive device detonated in a car in Jerusalem on Saturday night at approximately 7:15 P.M. The car, in the Beit Yisrael neighborhood, close to Jaffa Street, is thought to have been booby-trapped.

Taibeh on high alert after infiltration
Police placed the town of Taibeh in the Sharon region on high alert Saturday on the suspicion that Palestinian terrorists have infiltrated into the town from the territories. Police believe that there are two infiltrators, Channel One Television reported.
The number of security forces along the Green Line border in the Sharon region has been increased, with police now situated at the entrance to every town and city in the region. Security forces are also combing the wider area around Taibeh, in an effort to find any other terrorists.
Police have asked the residents of Taibeh to remain in their houses and have advised the public not to travel along road 444, between the West Bank cities of Tul Karm and Qalqilyah, as a result of security activity in the area.
