People who sympathize with terrorism against their own race, are obviously suffering from low self-esteem. You should seek help.

Hate to start your day with some "bad news":

Reservists prevent massive car bombing
By MARGOT DUDKEVITCH

IDF reservists prevented a large-scale car bomb attack inside Israel Friday night, after spotting a carrigged with explosives near Kalkilya.

Soldiers, meanwhile, were on the alert Sunday along the Green-Line in the Sharon region, in anticipation of possible infiltrations by more terrorists seeking to carry out bomb attacks.

In Friday night's incident, a group of reservists fired warning shots at the car bearing Israeli license plates, spotted near Kalkilya, with its headlights off.

Its three occupants fled to Kalkilya. At daylight, security forces inspecting the vehicle found four powerful bombs, three gas canisters containing inflammable liquid, and three containers full of nails, bolts, and other sharp metal objects.

An IDF tank shell was fired at the car to detonate the explosives.

Ephraim District commander Col. David Menahem praised the reservists' for preventing a powerful bomb attack inside Israel.

"I believe the car was on its way to a place of entertainment. I don't know where but the soldiers thwarted a large-scale bomb attack," he said.

Meanwhile, in Hebron yesterday afternoon, border policemen overpowered a 14-year-old Palestinian boy who attempted to stab a colleague near the Machpela Cave. The boy was handed over to police for questioning.

Despite the violence, the IDF yesterday lifted the curfews on Hebron, Bethlehem, Tulkarm, and Jenin until further notice.
