Israel's police and security forces have foiled an attack on its soil plotted by the Hamas militant group, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday
"I commend the ISA [Israel Security Authority], IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and Israel Police forces for the operational-intelligence effort that led to the thwarting of a terrorist attack that Hamas planned to carry out on our territory," he was quoted as saying on Twitter.
Israel has blamed Hamas, which controls the Palestinian exclave of Gaza Strip, of inciting violence on their common border and digging tunnels into the country to attack Jewish residents.
