Report: Al-Qaeda Planning Massive Terror Attack on Israeli Plane
Israel’s Security apparatus is concerned that Al-Qaeda is
planning a large scale terror attack on Israel’s civil aviation, Walla
reported.
Recently there has been an increase in the warnings
within the security system about possible attacks against civilian and foreign
flights by terrorists affiliated with Al-Qaeda and other groups, who are
working on such an attack.
At the same time, there has been an increase in reports
by ground crews and flight attendant noting that when Israeli planes are
landing in foreign countries, they are approached by Middle-Eastern civilians
who photograph them ostentatiously.
Senior defense officials suspect that this could be part
of intelligence-gathering efforts of terrorist groups that include the “Al-Quds
Corp,” the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and Hezbollah, in preparation for
terrorist attacks around the world.
These efforts correspond to a promise made last year by
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, on his plan to avenge Israel’s
assassination of the head of his organization’s military wing, Imad Mughniyah,
and Israel’s elimination of nuclear scientists in Iran.
Israel’s defense apparatus and the IDF have enhanced
recently the guidelines for senior officers, diplomats and former military
officials staying abroad on how to deal with potential threats and how to
increase the level of personal safety. In a few exceptional cases, flights to
targeted destinations have been canceled.
In addition, Walla reports, several key new steps have
been taken to secure the air and ground crews on Israeli airlines, which were
already considered the safest in the world.
