Jerusalem - Israeli troops in the northern West Bank on Monday discovered a car packed with explosives.
It is believed to have been prepared by militants from the radical Islamic Jihad movement, who claimed Friday's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, a military source said.
The car, which was discovered outside Arrabeh village near the town of Jenin, was packed "with tens of kilos of explosives", the source said.
"We believe it is something to do with Islamic Jihad who carried out Friday's bomb attack," she added.
The blast, which took place outside a Tel Aviv nightclub and killed five Israelis, put a major dent in efforts on both sides to observe an informal truce.
