Palestinians caught trying to smuggle pipe bombs into West Bank military court

For the third time this month, security forces foil an attempt to smuggle pipe bombs inside the Samaria Military Court in the West Bank, the army says in a statement.

According to the IDF, a border police officer approached three Palestinians who were acting suspiciously outside the courthouse and noticed that one was holding what appeared to be a pipe bomb.

Border guards searched all three suspects and uncovered two more pipe bombs.

Sappers were called to the scene to defuse the improvised explosive devices.

The West Bank court was the scene of two similar incidents earlier this month.
