Bomb near Tomb of the Patriarchs detonated by police

Border police stationed outside of the ancient historic and religious site in Hebron noticed the suspicious device and scrambled sappers to the area, clearing it of all civilians.

 A bomb found near the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs in Hebron was detonated by police on Sunday.

Border police stationed outside of the ancient historic and religious site noticed the suspicious device and scrambled sappers to the area, clearing it of all civilians.

Police launched an investigation, and issued a statement in which they promised to “protect the security of all the citizens, residents and visitors” to the Judea burial place of biblical forbears Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob and Leah.

According to local law enforcement, “in the area of the tomb, there is unique coexistence that the security forces, including border police, protect with the goal of allowing freedom of worship and religion to both Jews and Muslims at the Tomb of the Patriarchs.”
