The latest Palestinian attempt at mass murder has been thwarted—and the would-be killer is reported to be a “hermaphrodite:” Security forces thwart suicide attack in Tel Aviv.
A suicide bomb attack was thwarted with the arrest of a Palestinian woman, whom according to Palestinian reports is a hermaphrodite who goes by the name of Ahmed. Security forces arrested Amal Juma’a, 35, in the Askar refugee camp near Nablus on Sunday night.
Palestinian sources said Juma’a planned to carry out a suicide attack in Tel Aviv on Monday.
The 15-kilogram bomb Juma’a was to have used in the attack was blown up by Palestinian security officials who found it hidden inside a washing machine in one of the houses in the camp after they were contacted by Juma’a’s parents.
Palestinians claimed that in the past three years Juma’a acted as a courier and transferred bombs from one terrorist cell to another.
Both the Fatah’s Al-Aksa Martyrs’ Brigades and the Hamas were to have claimed joint responsibility for the attack.
Israeli security officials said they were unable to confirm the claims that Juma’a planned to launch an attack in Tel Aviv today saying she was still being questioned about her terrorist activities.
As to her gender, Israeli security officials said that while Juma’a’s physical appearance was extremely ‘manly’ they were unable to confirm reports claiming she is a hermaphrodite.
