Ya’alon: Hezbollah wants Arab Israelis to carry out attacks

Lebanon-based Hezbollah is trying to recruit Arab Israelis to carry out terror attacks, Moshe Ya’alon says.

Speaking for the first time about the recent exposure of a Hezbollah terror cell in the West Bank, the defense minister says that “Hezbollah is operating in Judea and Samaria like other terrorist groups.”

He says that these groups are “all Iranian satellites,” which receive funding from Tehran, Channel 10 reports.

“Hezbollah, via Iran, is trying to recruit Palestinians and Arab Israelis to carry out terror attacks inside Israel,” he adds.
