Shin Bet uncovers Hamas terror cell in Hebron

[oberliner]

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Monday that security forces had broken up a Hamas terror cell in Hebron planning attacks on Israeli targets.

The suspects “planned to carry out various terror attacks, but were arrested before they could put their plans into action,” security forces said. In particular, they plotted to carry out a combined explosives and shooting attack on an IDF position in the Hebron area.

The cell was led by a Hamas member in Gaza who had been released under the prisoner exchange deal to free captive soldier Gilad Schalit.

A pipe bomb was seized during raids in the West Bank against the cell.
