Hamas Plot to Assassinate Israeli Minister Ben Gvir Thwarted

Israeli security forces said they stopped a plan by Hamas to kill Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir.

Hamas members from the Hebron area were allegedly involved, planning to use explosive drones.

The group operated from Turkey, according to Shin Bet, Israel's security service.

Ben Gvir, a member of the far-right Jewish Power party, has faced previous threats.

He has been the target of multiple assassination attempts.

Ben Gvir has made controversial comments in the past and caused international concern by praying at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
