Yesterday, Israeli Intelligence cleared for publication that former Defense Minister and Chief of Staff Moshe (Bogie) Ya’alon
was targeted by Hezbollah in an assassination attempt last year.
On Rosh Hashanah last year, a bomb exploded in Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv. Investigations into the explosion led to the arrest of 8 suspects, who placed a claymore bomb in the part in an attempt to assassinate the former Israeli Defense leader.
Reacting to the news, Ya’alon said: “It’s not the first time someone has tried to kill me.”
The news of the attempted assassination of Ya’alon comes as the ISA cleared for publication that it had prevented an assassination attempt by Hezbollah, targeting a former Defense official. This second assassination attempt also used a claymore bomb, this time attached to a remotely operated device with a cellphone camera, so it could be remotely detonated by Hezbollah from within Lebanon.
