Liberman praises security forces who thwarted Independence Day bombing

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman praises the vigilance of security forces at a northern West Bank checkpoint after they uncovered a massive explosive device hidden on the roof of a Palestinian truck.

“The vigilance and professionalism of the crossing authorities at the Defense Ministry led to the… thwarting of a major attack on the 70th Independence Day,” Liberman tweets.

“We will chase the bastards who planned to attack on our holiday,” he adds, vowing to bring those responsible to justice.
