Report: Israeli Forces Foil Attacks Schemed by Nasrallah's Son

W300

The Shin Bet said on Wednesday that Israeli forces thwarted a shooting attack in the Tulkarm area of the northern West Bank led by Palestinian Mahmoud Zaaloul who was directed by the son of Hizbullah leader Jawad Nasrallah, Israeli media reports stated.

Forces "apprehended a terror cell funded and guided by Hizbullah," an Israeli army statement said, adding the cell was "plotting a shooting attack".

The reports said that Nasrallah used the social networks to recruit the leader of the seven-person cell Zaaloul who is a resident of Tulkarm.

The cell was directed by Hizbullah to carry out terror attacks using explosive belts, train suicide bombers and to collect information about the movements of Israeli security forces in the area, according to the Shin Bet.

It added that Hizbullah has transferred $5,000 to the cell for the purpose of committing the attacks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said: "Hizbullah is trying to exploit the situation in the West Bank to recruit Palestinians to carry out attacks against Israeli positions."

On Monday, Israel’s military chief of staff, in a rare public speech, said that Hizbullah was his country's biggest threat.

Hizbullah and Israel scuffle intermittently in the disputed border area between Lebanon and the Jewish state, and the group has in the past targeted army patrols in response to strikes against its members.

Dear God!!!! Dear Lord!!!!
Even on an article as insignificant as this I find you mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of a being are you? New and fresh evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be objectively answered by you and NOW!

Missing heroes over 9 years

@f.z.t If you must know, I shall answer. nonabel is my childhood friend and college roommate who got suspended for excessive abusive language responding to your insults, yet unlike you, who gets suspended on daily basis and create new daily accounts, he refuses to post under an assumed account. lebcad is a hero from Canada whom I do not know, but you might as well say, I will adopt him anytime into my family. I have no clue who lagom is. Yes ,I'm still a Christian tonite and like my buddy nonabel, a maronite and your worst nightmare.
