The IDF foiled what would have been a major terror attack in the heart of Tel Aviv, on the holiest day of the year.

A suicide attack in Tel Aviv was thwarted on Saturday when security forces found an explosives belt in an apartment in the city, designated to be used in an attack over the Yom Kippur holiday.

The belt was found Saturday morning in an apartment near the southern end of Allenby Street by the Shin Bet security service, operating with Yarkon District Police.

The apartment was occupied by Palestinians residing there illegally. It was apparently smuggled in parts from the West Bank City of Nablus.

The reason they foiled the attack is because the IDF has been working overtime to stop the ticking bombs, something that the Palestinian Authority is supposed to do, and yet, keeps failing.

The belt was intended to be used in an attack to be carried out by a suicide bomber who was arrested in Nablus late Thursday, after a three-day operation by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet officers.

The IDF had deployed large forces in the Beit Ilma refugee camp in Nablus, in an effort to capture a cell of militants that included members of Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The security services had received intelligence information that the cell was planning to carry out a suicide bombing attack in central Israel during the holidays.

The captured terrorists gave up their safe house. But there was damage: A young Israeli soldier lost his life to stop this attack from happening.

As I said yesterday, this is the time of year that terrorists most want to murder Jews, knowing it is the holiest day of our year, and thinking to catch the IDF napping like they did during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. There is a different name for that war in the Arab and Muslim world. Keep reading to find out.

Now, let’s look how Israel respects Muslims’ holy days.

The release of some 100 Palestinian prisoners is expected to be approved by the government Sunday, as a goodwill gesture for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Let’s compare: Muslim gestures to Jews for the holiest time of the year: Trying to murder mass amounts of Jews with bombs. Jewish gesture to Muslims during their holiest time of the year: Forgiveness and freedom.

These gestures are wholly ignored the by likes of Jimmy Carter, who insist that Israel is the problem here.

Oh, that other name for the Yom Kippur War? The Ramadan War.
