Israeli Farmer Thwarts Hezbollah Bomb Plot
An Israeli farmer found a parcel of explosives in a wooded area near the Lebanese border last month, which security officials believe were part of a Hezbollah terror plot, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The bag full of explosives was spotted in Metulla by the border, apparently smuggled in by Lebanese terrorists. A Hezbollah “courier” was likely supposed to collect the explosives, but the local farmer got there first, spoiling the plot.
Authorities initially thought that the explosives belonged to local criminals, but further investigation pointed to Hezbollah.
