The Israeli Domestic Intelligence Agency, Shin Bet, yesterday announced the arrest of what it called a Palestinian cell which is involved in plotting attacks against Israeli military targets.

The agency claimed the suspects are Hamas members who had been monitoring Israeli forces in the Surif area in order to carry out the attacks and/or abductions.

The security forces also confiscated weapons.

The agency named Ibrahim Abdallah Ghneimat; who is currently serving a life sentence for attacks carried out in the 1990s, as a key member in the plot along with his two sons, Fadi and Shadi.

The other suspects are Mohammed Mahmoud Ghneimat, Haitham Naim Humaidan, Ghassan Al-Sultan, Rami Al-Rajoub.
