Hamas plans to kill Lieberman foiled

The police, Israeli Defence Forces and Shin Bet said on Friday morning (Australian time) that three Palestinians bought a rocket propelled grenade launcher and intended to kill Lieberman while he was in his car.

The leader of the Hamas terror cell has been identified as 37-year-old Ibrahim Salim Mahmoud al-Zir.
