On 15 October 2017, a 17-year-old Palestinian and a second unidentified individual, attempted to enter the Shomron Military Court facility with two pipe bombs.

The X-ray revealed that the 17-year-old was carrying two pipe bombs. On 10 May 2017, a previous pipe bomb-smuggling attempt took place at the same courthouse.
