Due to circumstances which are not yet known, a massive Hamas terror attack intended to take place in the Tel Aviv area during the Passover Seder was averted. A similar attack five years ago killed 30 people in Netanya and triggered the IDF's Operation Defensive Shield.
The General Security Service (Shabak) has acknowledged that a Hamas terrorist successfully entered the Greater Tel Aviv area in a car laden with 100 kg. (220 lbs.) of explosives before Passover. Besides the explosives, it contained large amounts of shrapnel material, intended to maximize carnage. For reasons that are not yet known, the attack was not carried out and the terrorist drove the car back to Kalkilya, where it had come from. The car exploded in Kalkilya, in what the Shabak says was a 'work accident.'
The terrorist who drove the car into Tel Aviv made use of the fact that he carries a blue Israeli ID card. He received the ID as a result of his marriage to an Arab Israeli citizen from Taibeh. The ID made it easy for him to drive past IDF roadblocks from Kalkilya which is under Hamas/Palestinian Authority control into the nearby Tel Aviv area. His vehicle, too, carried Israel license plates.
Security officials note that Arab terror organizations routinely make use of family ties to Israeli Arabs in order to facilitate terror attacks. The security services have been enabling relative freedom of movement to and from Kalkilya, which is situated in close proximity to the Greater Tel Aviv area, so as not to harm its economy.
The Kalkilya Hamas infrastructure was responsible for the massacre of 21 young Israelis outside the Dolphinarium discotheque in June 2001. After a period of dormancy it has now rebuilt itself, according to security officials. The officials say that from November 2006, Hamas has been upgrading its terror abilities in Judea and Samaria, and preparing attacks that can be carried out at short notice. Iran and Syria have been assisting this project.
The Shabak recently carried out numerous arrests among Hamas terrorists in the Kalkilya area, after a period in which the local Hamas cell grew and developed its abilities to carry out attacks. The GSS action was intended to prevent attacks during the Pesach holiday. The results of the interrogations which followed showed that the Hamas terror infrastructure in Kalkilya was working on several attacks simultaneously.
The officials say that Hamas has switched phases from preparation of the attacks to implementation, and is now about to launch additional attacks.

I wonder how many stores, markets, and nightclubs the Paleostinians will have to blow up before the Israelis call for Olmert’s head.
You just know the demonspawn Hamas will lie and say Israel sent a car bomb to murder innocent Palestinians. And of corse, Palestinians being the hate-filled sheeple they are will believe every lie if it is against Israelis.
Premature Jihadation.
Gee, hope nobody was hurt in the 'accident'...
(/sarc)
Why does all the MSM treat the arabs as if they have a right innocent people? Are they NUTS?
In one word, Yes.
ping
Uhhh... maybe because they know that the arabs will kill them if they are angered?
This makes no sense to me. If the Israelis did not detect the car, why was it driven back across the border, then exploded?
From the article:
“For reasons that are not yet known, the attack was not carried out and the terrorist drove the car back to Kalkilya, where it had come from. The car exploded in Kalkilya, in what the Shabak says was a ‘work accident.’”
He may have gone back to complete some jihadi ritual??

The driver went to Tel Aviv - the bomb wouldn’t explode - he went back to get it fixed - it exploded just fine!
Sounds like a: “Here, hold muh beer and watch this - it don’t work!” -— “BOOM”
Because, to the MSM, evil is good and good is evil.
