Vilnai: Defense establishment acting to thwart terror attack
Home Front Defense Minister Matan Vilnai warned that terrorists might take the opportunity of Eid al-Fitr to carry out attacks on Israel. "The Defense establishment has received a warning that a terror cell in Sinai, comprised of more than 10 terrorists, is to attempt to carry out an attack," he said. "The Defense establishment is taking action to thwart this attempt."
Vilnai, who spoke while touring the Elbit Systems factory in Sderot, stressed that "the Islamic Jihad has been trying to launch attacks from Sinai for a long time." (Shmulik Hadad and Attila Somfalvi)
