Israel says its soldiers have arrested a Palestinian suspected of terrorist activities and discovered about 10 kilograms of explosives in a Palestinian ambulance near the city of Ramallah in the West Bank. An Israeli military commander stated that when the ambulance driver was stopped at a checkpoint between Ramallah and Jerusalem, he was carrying a doctor, a woman, and her three children. Israel often accuses Palestinian militants of using ambulances to transport explosives, a claim that Palestinian officials have repeatedly denied. Earlier today, Israel reported that its soldiers killed two Palestinian men who were attempting to enter Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip.
