Israelis Stymie Horse-Drawn Bomb Attempt

Share

(Newser) – Explosives-laden horses were part of an attempt today by Palestinian militants to plant bombs in Israel, the BBC reports. Israel says it shot and killed four men—who where wearing explosive vests—and their explosive-laden horses after they first fired on a border post. The Israeli response to the men and their horses was carried out with machine guns, tanks, and helicopters.

Israel should just give them more land. Now that they have Gaza, they have to resort to rockets and horse bombs. Let the Palestinians have free reign over the West Bank and Jerusalem and they could have flame throwers trying to kill people in manger square. Maybe even a tank trying to blow people up in the Church of Holy Sepulcher! How cool would that be! Reply
