JERUSALEM, Feb. 20 — Israeli security agency Shin Bet said Sunday
it has thwarted a plot by Palestinian militants to carry out a bombing
attack against Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Six members of a Palestinian cell associated with the Islamic Jihad
militant group were arrested “in recent weeks,” Shin Bet said in a
statement.The cell members, all residents of the West Bank, planned to
carry out shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and security. Some
members even plotted to attack Lieberman’s convoy when he returned to his
home in a West Bank settlement, it said.The investigation revealed that
they tried to acquire explosives and contacted militants in the Gaza Strip
regarding financing.
After failing to receive financial support from Gaza, the cell members
thought they might better succeed if they planted an improvised explosive
device along the minister’s route.However, the attack was never carried out
due to the minister’s heavy security, Shin Bet said.It added that the case
was the latest in a string of attempts by Palestinians from the West Bank
“to leverage their links with their Gazan counterparts in order to commit
attacks.”Israel and the Palestinians have witnessed a resurging wave of
violence since U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of the disputed
holy city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December. – XINHUA
