- Israel's Shin Bet Foil Hezbollah Assassination Attempt
Shin Bet, Israel's internal intelligence agency, foiled an attempt by Hezbollah to assassinate a former senior Israeli security official using an explosive device, the security agency announces.
The attack was intended to have been carried out in the coming days, according to the Shin Bet.
Hezbollah was also responsible for a bombing in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park last year, said the agency.
An explosive device of the claymore-type, was discovered, and intended to be used to kill the security official.
The bomb could have reportedly been remotely detonated from Lebanon.
The former official, who is not named, was notified by the Shin Bet of the incident.
The Shin Bet says that the bomb was near identical to one that exploded in Yarkon Park on September 15, 2023, in an attempted attack that caused no injuries.
