Ha’aretz reports that the Islamic Jihad suicide bomber who blew himself up on Thursday was planning to attack a kids’ Hanukkah party.
The suicide bomber who killed an Israel Defense Forces officer and two Palestinians at an army checkpoint near Tul Karm yesterday was apparently planning to blow himself up at one of the many children’s events taking place in Tel Aviv during this week’s Hanukkah holiday, army sources said.
Had the bomber not been stopped at the checkpoint, the attack would have been far more deadly, said the sources.
