Israel says Hamas attack plot foiled

Israel's Shin Bet security service says it has uncovered a vast Hamas network in the occupied West Bank that was planning large-scale attacks against Israelis in occupied Jerusalem.

Hamas did not immediately comment on Thursday's announcement of the arrests.

The Shin Bet said it arrested more than 30 Hamas fighters who planned to kidnap Israelis and carry out attacks against Jerusalem's light rail and its largest football stadium, among other targets.

It said the men were trained and recruited in Jordan and Turkey and that various arms and explosives were recovered.
