Israeli security services said Thursday they had foiled a plot to kill the country’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Eleven people including seven Palestinian Israeli citizens were arrested in the joint operation with the police and the army, the internal security service Shin Bet said.
“Shin Bet dismantled a terrorist cell that was preparing attacks in Israel, notably against the Minister Itamar Ben Gvir,” the agency said in a statement, nearly six months into Israel’s war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
