Book Bomb Blast Averted Near Gaza Border B’chasdei Hashem


A group of visitors hiking in Nachal Re’im saw something they feared may be an explosive. When police and bomb sappers arrived, it became clear that Hamas placed an explosive inside a book by Dr. Aryeh Eldad.

Nachal Re’im is a hiking trail near Kibbutz Bari on the border of Israel and Gaza. Hikers who wanted to enjoy the area took a hike on the trail. They saw the book “Things We See from Here”, published by former right-wing MK Aryeh Eldad, a book that speaks about what happens to right-wing leaders from the moment they take control of the government, and then become left-wing.

Terrorists attached an IED to the book, an explosive containing a charge as well as metallic balls to increase the carnage following the explosion. This is what terrorist placed in the book bomb, which was neutralized by bomb demolition technicians.

The book was found on Shabbos and it was sent over the Gaza border attached to balloons in the hope someone would open it and it would explode.
