Former defense minister and IDF chief of staff Moshe Ya’alon reacts to the news that he was the intended target of a Hezbollah bombing attack in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park last year, saying it’s happened before.

“It’s not the first time someone has tried to kill me,” he tells Democrat TV. “My worldview is that of one who attacks, not one who is attacked, and I also take precautions, so I’m alive,” Ya’alon, 74, says.

The Shin Bet security agency announced yesterday that it had foiled another attempted bombing attack by the same Hezbollah network that was behind the intended assassination of Ya’alon.
