The Shin Bet security agency says security forces recently uncovered and arrested a Hamas network in Nablus and Hebron that planned shooting and bombing attacks.
According to the Shin Bet, the group of seven members was directed by a Hamas member in the Gaza Strip to prepare for attacks against civilians and security forces in the West Bank.
The Shin Bet says they had practiced shooting and had conducted tests with explosive devices. Several firearms were seized following their arrests.
The suspects are charged with serious security offenses, the Shin Bet says.
