For at least the fifth time in recent weeks, Arabs concealing pipe bombs were detected trying to enter the Shomron Military Court near Salim, leading to the arrests of three terrorists. This latest attempt occurred on Wednesday, 29 Shevat 5778.

Border police were on hand at the Chatmar Shomron district court, leading to the discovery of the explosive devices. The court was shut, and the area evacuated as bomb-demolition technicians were summoned.

There was a bomb scare as recently as Tuesday, 28 Shevat, a day earlier, which was later learned to be a real explosive device as in the other previous cases at the same venue.
