Driving the Nails in Their Own Coffin Enclosure!

The following article, by Erik Schechter and the Jerusalem Post Staff, highlights the reason the security barrier must be built to enclose the Palestinians within a coffin like box, with only air holes at the 27 check points, which will receive thorough searches for entry and exiting. The terror groups, which have the support of the Palestinian population, are literally driving the nails in their own coffin.
This barrier cannot stop all the attacks but it has been proven, since it began to be constructed, that it can cut out most of them and, when completed, can bring a time of what will be classified as relative peace.

Soldier Killed, Several Wounded in W. Bank Bombing

Lt.
Uri Binamo, 21, from Nesher was killed and around 10 people were wounded, including three IDF soldiers, in a suicide bombing in the West Bank on Thursday morning.
A suicide bomber detonated himself at a surprise IDF roadblock south of Tulkarm, near Shavei Shomron.
The bomber was driven in a taxi to the area, and when he exited the vehicle, soldiers asked him to open his coat. He refused, and set off his explosives. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.
Four Palestinians – including the taxi driver – were also killed in the attack.
It was unclear whether there were other Palestinian fatalities. One of the Palestinians killed in
the blast was suspected of being an accomplice who intended to lead the bomber to the location of the planned bombing.
Seven Palestinians, including a child, were reportedly wounded, and were taken to Dr. Thabet Thabet Hospital in Tulkarm.
The officer killed was a platoon commander in the Nachshon battalion. Sources in the Ephraim brigade – responsible for security in the Kalkilya area – said the officer had prevented a greater tragedy by blocking the bomber with his body.
MDA teams arrived at the scene and evacuated the wounded.
One soldier, in critical condition, was taken to the hospital by helicopter.
Another two that were listed in light to moderate condition were evacuated as well, MDA reported. The soldiers were hospitalized at Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera and in Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba.
The temporary roadblock was erected near Avnei Hefetz in the West Bank following concrete information of planned suicide attacks.
The IDF estimated that the bomber intended to blow up within Israeli lines, but was stopped before he could reach his planned destination.
Security officials added
that the explosive device was a large one, and could have caused severe damage had the bomber reached his destination inside Israel.
After the attack, the army imposed closures on the West Bank towns of Tulkarm and Kalkilya, preventing people from coming in
and out.
Deputy Defense Minister Ze’ev Boim said, Thursday’s attack was carried out by Islamic Jihad operatives in the northern West Bank, with direct support from the group’s leadership in Syria.
“Their efforts to put suicide bombers in the center of Israel are always ongoing,” he told Israel Radio, praising the army for foiling what could have been a much worse attack if the attackers had reached an Israeli city. “This temporary checkpoint prevented a heavier catastrophe,” he said.
Palestinian officials who arrived on the scene had initially believed that two bombers were responsible, but as the facts became clearer, it appeared that only one person was responsible.
Security officials said that there were an additional 50 terror warnings on Thursday.
Ten of those warnings involved concrete information, officials added.

It was believed the terror bomber and his guide were headed for the city of Tel Aviv to produce a major homicide bombing.
