More on Gush Etzion Missile/Bomb Attack

(IsraelNN.com) Bomb disposal technicians explain that today's missile/bomb incident near the Gush Etzion community of Efrat was a lesson that ended without injury or death.

While it was determined that the Qassam rocket seated in a launcher was a fake, the bomb next to it was quite real. Bomb demolition experts were concerned over the cellular telephone detonation device, adding terrorists are becoming alarming sophisticated in the bombs being used and techniques being deployed. Today's incident was undoubtedly intended to draw the attention of emergency personnel to the rocket, believed to be real, permitting the terrorists to detonate the bomb against them.

The only surprising thing is that it's taken them so long to figure this out. Palestinian terrorists really are stupid.

Even more puzzling (or perhaps this hand-wringing over cellular phones as detonators is simply disinformation) is that Israel is second to none in the development of both military and commercial cellular jammers. Just turn one of those on when you are still a good distance away from the suspicious bomb, and you're all set.

Yes, there are other things I could think of using (but I really, really don't want to post them on the internet)

I don't think they are that stupid. The leftwing Israeli goverment is allowing them to threaten the Israeli's more and more every day.
