The Palestinian Authority thwarted a suicide attack about six weeks ago that a young woman from Nablus had planned to carry out in Israel, Palestinian security sources have told Haaretz. The woman, who belongs to the Islamic Jihad, was arrested by the Palestinian security forces.
A spokesman for the Palestinian forces, Adnan Damiri, said he had no information on the subject.
According to Palestinian security sources, they have recently thwarted a number of attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
It was reported Monday that Palestinian security forces handed over to Israel a makeshift rocket that had been manufactured in the village of Beit Sira near Modi'in.
Several Hamas activists were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the group trying to manufacture the rocket.
