Israel National News reports: “The Shin Bet and Israel Police have thwarted a bombing aimed at harming IDF soldiers at a bus stop in Akko (Acre).

Security forces detected the attack, which was planned by Issa Madi, an 18-year-old resident of Akko, after their suspicions were raised by his connections to members of the Islamic State (ISIS) and contact with operatives abroad.
