Palestinians were apparently planning a mass murder for Holocaust Day: Officials: Holocaust Day attack foiled. (Hat tip: Ethel.)

IDF soldiers detained Monday a terrorist planning to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel.

The would-be bomber was nabbed near the community of Adam, north of Jerusalem, without his explosive belt, which he was supposed to receive later on. Security officials later told Ynet: “A terror attack on Holocaust Day or the next day was prevented.”

Meanwhile, the terrorist was handed over to security authorities for questioning. Throughout the day, many roadblocks were set up in the Binyamin area, around Jerusalem, and on Highway 443 connecting Jerusalem and Modi’in. Every motorist was screened by security officers, leading to heavy traffic jams.

However, the boosted deployment proved itself and the would-be bomber was nabbed.
