Reserve soldiers stationed south of Ramallah this morning stopped a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance and, upon inspection, found a suspected suicide bomber on board.

The Palestinian man was reportedly wanted by the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, for suspected participation in terror-related activities.

During an initial on-site investigation, the man said he had hidden an explosive device inside the ambulance.

Sappers were dispatched to the scene to examine the ambulance, Israel Radio reported.
