TULKARM, WEST BANK (VINnews) — On Thursday, the IDF released video footage of an explosive hidden in a baby stroller, which was discovered during a major operation in the northern West Bank. The footage was taken with the camera of the drone that identified the bomb, which was subsequently dismantled in an explosives lab.

IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee said, “Palestinian terrorists are using the civilian population and using roads and infrastructure – but the ones who pay the price are the civilians.”
Addressing Tulkarm’s Arab residents, he added, “It’s time that the population told these terror bullies, ‘Enough, get away from us.'”
In response to the horrific act, President Isaac Herzog said: “A bomb in a baby’s stroller! This photo, taken by the IDF in Tulkarem, shows just one of the sick and cynical ways Palestinian terrorists abuse civilians and human life.”
“Let there be no doubt. Like the monsters who brutally murdered the 6 hostages in cold blood, Iranian-backed terrorists of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and their partners in terror and hate have no regard for the value of life. They happily endanger their own people, and celebrate death.
“In the face of these crimes against humanity, Israel will continue to work to protect all civilian life, and fight relentlessly against the evil of terror.”
It is not unimaginable for a mother to place her infant in a stroller with a bomb, and detonate it in order to kill Jews. (As one Palestinian mother told another; “enjoy them now, they blow up so fast.”)
