| [IsraelTimes] Three Palestinians have been charged over a plot to kill far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, the Israel Police and Shin Bet say in a joint statement. The cell, made up of residents of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, was led by Ismail Ibrahim Awadi, who established contact in July 2024 with Hezbollah and Hamas in a bid to secure arms and assistance to carry out a series of planned attacks, the statement says. The cell conducted surveillance against Ben Gvir and his sons who live in the neighboring settlement of Kiryat Arba, noting the routes they took, the make of the vehicles he traveled in, and details on his guards. The statement says they developed a plan to kill Ben Gvir when he arrived at the scene of a terror attack. Following the investigations “serious” charges were filed at a military court, the statement says. |
