None
The IDF, Shin Bet and Israel police stopped a Hamas terror cell planning to fire at soldiers near Abus Dis during Purim, it was cleared for publication on Tuesday.
The members of the cell, who were arrested in early March, bought a car to be used in the attack, trained in shooting and collected intelligence on their target.
The two central members of the cell were leader Ma'an Nur al-Din Ahmad Shaer and Daud Raja Daud Adwan. Both were previously imprisoned in Israel. Shaer served time for his involvement in shootings at IDF soldiers in the past.
