The intended target of a Hezbollah bombing attack in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park last year was former defense minister and IDF chief of staff Moshe Ya’alon, authorities permit for publication.
The blast on September 15, 2023, caused no injuries. Eight suspects were detained over the bombing, according to police.
Yesterday, the Shin Bet announced that it foiled another attempted bombing attack by the same Hezbollah network.
The attack was intended to have been carried out in the coming days, and target another former senior defense official, according to the Shin Bet.
The official in the latest incident has not yet been named.
