Alert police and IDF soldiers avoided falling into a potential death trap set by Palestinian Authority Arabs who placed a snake on a barricade the security forces use to protect themselves from rioters.
Cement barricades are in place in dozens of locations in Judea and Samaria to protect soldiers and Border Police from Arabs, who tied a snake to one of them near a Ramallah area village on Friday.
Alert soldiers from the Hareidi Netzach Yehuda unit of the IDF noticed the snake before they approached the barrier.
The snake was captured and tested. It turns it was not poisonous.
“We are witness to different attempts to injure and kill soldiers, who this time also prevented harm,” said IDF Company Commander Aaron Moyal.
