Israeli right-wingers put fake bombs in Tel Aviv’s two main train stations Sunday in a “warning” about the Gaza Strip withdrawal plan. Police said two suitcases were left, prompting authorities to clear the area until sappers could confirm that they were harmless. The suitcases contained leaflets reading “The withdrawal will blow up in your face,” a reference to the planned evacuation this summer of all Gaza settlements and another four in the West Bank. Last month, two far-right Jews were arrested on suspicion of planting four fake bombs in Jerusalem.
