The vehicle was inspected and a police sapper was called to the scene to neutralize the bombs. Highway 5 was temporarily blocked to traffic in both directions until the pipe bombs were safely neutralized.
The driver, a resident of the Bedouin city of Rahat in the Negev, was arrested and taken for questioning.
Earlier on Sunday, a police force arrested a Palestinian taxi at the Tapuah intersection after discovering parts of M16 type weapons in the cab. The driver was taken in for questioning.
Also on Sunday, a stabbing attack was foiled at the Huwara checkpoint, south of Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the man as Rami Awartani, 31 years old, and a resident of Shechem.
Awartani arrived at the checkpoint by car, from the direction of Shechem. He stopped the vehicle there, and ran toward soldiers with a knife. The soldiers shot him, resulting in his death.
