They have done it again.
A Palestinian boy wearing a suicide bomber belt was captured Wednesday afternoon by IDF troops near the Hawara roadblock near Nablus, Israel Radio reported.
According to media reports, the child ran in the direction of IDF soldiers apparently with the intention of exploding the belt. Soldiers stopped the child and discovered the explosives belt.
The area was shut down and sappers began to defuse the belt that was still on the boy’s body.
Watch for the inevitable PLO Arab denial and accusation that this is just Israeli propaganda.
Update: I am beginning to think that the child pictured below is not merely shouting slogans (as the caption suggests), but is rather volunteering for the next mission.
Update: Now they are saying that he was paid $20 to blow himself up. I wonder where, exactly, he was expecting to spend this money.
