Shin Bet thwarts planned suicide attack in Tel Aviv

The Shin Bet, IDF, and Israel Police arrested in the past two months five suspects, from Jenin and Tulkarm, who planned on committing terror attacks in Tel Aviv and other cities.

It was released for publication Monday that Yasmin Shaaban, a 31-year-old resident of Jenin was planning to impersonate a pregnant Jewish woman, wearing a suicide vest. The suspects confessed to also planning a shooting attack, attempting to bomb a bus full of soldiers, and even kidnapping a soldier.

According to the plan, Shaaban was to try to receive an entry permit to Israel, on medical grounds, which she would use to enter the country and commit a suicide bombing. During their interrogation by the Shin Bet, the suspects admitted to planning the suicide attack, as well as several others.

At the time of their arrests, Israeli forces confiscated a customized M-16, a hunting rifle, ammunition, and materials used in bomb-making.
