Bombing
changeRiyashi blew up a 2 kilogram bomb inside a building where Palestinians are processed so they can work in a industrial zone inside of Israel.[4] The IDF claimed that when she went through the metal detector, she pretended to have a leg injury and said she had metal plates in her leg which would set off the alarm. She asked to be body searched instead. After being taken to a bag checking area, a woman was sent to search her and then she blew up her suicide bomb.[5]
Two IDF soldiers, one Israeli policeman, and a Israeli worker at the facility were killed. 7 other Israelis and 4 Palestinians were injured.[6]
