 Israel arrested six Palestinians suspected of planning attacks targeting Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman and other Israelis in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli Security agency Shin Bet today said the six were affiliated with a terrorist group and were active in the Bethlehem area where they sought to carry out shootings against Israeli civilians and security forces.
In addition, some of the group had been planning to target Lieberman's vehicle when he travelled to his home in a West Bank settlement.
According to a Shin Bet statement, the suspects had been trying to obtain explosives to make a bomb and even reached out to terror elements in Gaza for funding.
The six will be charged in an Israeli military court.
