The half-dozen prepared firebombs found at the site where two Palestinian Authority terrorists were spotted attempting to infiltrate the Jewish community of Itamar in Samaria on Sunday night actually were primitive improvised explosive devices pre-packed with shrapnel.

The six bottles, filled with sharp screws as well as gasoline and stuffed with rags, were discovered where one of the two terrorists was captured. The second terrorist, who fled in the direction of Beit Furiq, remains at large.

Searches are continuing to be carried out by the IDF Samaria Regional Brigade.
