The police has beefed up its presence across the country due to 50 terror warnings, 10 of them specific alerts, Israel Radio reported Saturday morning. Police were concentrating efforts in the Jerusalem area, where it erected roadblocks along the seam line and increased security at the entrance to the capital, the radio said. Ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations, policemen have deployed in crowded locations and entertainment spots across the country. A suicide bomber who killed an Israel Defense Forces officer and two Palestinians at an army checkpoint near Tul Karm earlier this week was apparently planning to blow himself up at one of the many children’s events taking place in Tel Aviv during this week’s Hanukkah holiday, according to army sources. Had the bomber not been stopped at the checkpoint, the attack would have been far more deadly, said Earlier this month five people were killed and dozens were injured in a suicide bombing at Hasharon shopping mall in Netanya.
