'Lebanese-Style' Terror Ambush Near Hevron

Two Jewish civilians were targeted by a sophisticated Arab roadside bomb Wednesday night near Hevron but escaped unhurt miraculously. The serious incident was hardly reported at all in the press, which was busy counting the number of blows dealt to anarchists who tried to block a major thoroughfare.

Chaim Siton, a resident of Avigail in southern Mount Hevron, was driving home with a friend on the dark and largely deserted road, when he saw a piece of black fabric waving in the wind and thought it was a dog running toward the road. He braked slightly. This action may have saved his life, as in the next moment a huge ball of fire engulfed the front of his car. The fire was from an explosive device that had been planted at the side of the road and was detonated with a cell phone. Had Siton not braked, he probably would have been at the center of the explosion when the bomb went off.

As it happened, Siton and his passenger managed to escape unharmed and continued driving. At this point another miracle occurred and a second explosive charge, planted a few meters down the road, which was planned to explode on them, was not detonated.
