Israel says prevented Palestinian suicide bomb attack
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said border police near the Palestinian city of Nablus had been suspicious about the man who was wearing a coat on an exceptionally hot Spring day.
"The forces stopped him and asked the suspect to remove his clothes. He was wearing a bomb-belt," Rosenfeld said.
The Israeli military said the forces had "thwarted a suicide bomb attack". The man, believed to be in his 20s, was in a particularly sensitive area in the West Bank, which has a number of Jewish settlements and large security presence.
Israel saw a wave of Palestinian suicide bombings a decade ago during the height of a Palestinian uprising. The last suicide attacks took place in 2008.
