Security cabinet told Iran, Hezbollah, may attempt high-profile assassination — report

Ministers were warned by senior security officials yesterday that an Iranian and Hezbollah attack on Israel may come in the form of an assassination of high-ranking figures, the Ynet news site reports.

According to the report, the senior security officials told the security cabinet that Hezbollah and Iran could respond to the assassinations of Fuad Shukr in Beirut and Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran by targeting ministers, lawmakers, IDF officers, or senior officials in the Shin Bet or Mossad, instead of launching missiles and drones.
