Israeli intelligence foils Hezbollah bomb attack on official
Israel’s domestic intelligence service, Shin Bet, said it had foiled a bomb attack by the Lebanese Shiite militia, Hezbollah, targeting a former senior Israeli security official.
The attack had been planned for the coming days, according to Shin Bet.
According to a statement by Israel’s domestic intelligence service, an explosive device had been equipped with a remote detonator and connected to a camera and a mobile phone, which would have allowed the bomb to be detonated from Lebanon by the militia group.

The intelligence service also accused Hezbollah of being responsible for an attempted attack in a park in Tel Aviv in September last year.
At the end of July, an Israeli attack on a house in a suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut killed a high-ranking commander of the Shiite militia, Fuad Shukr.
Hezbollah responded by threatening retaliation.
