Jerusalem, 20 April, 2016 (TPS) -- The Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) released for publication on Wednesday that it has arrested what it called a “Jewish terror cell”, including at least six members who carried out attacks against Palestinians.

The attacks include a November 2015 incident in which firebombs were thrown into a Palestinian family’s home in the village of al-Mazraa al-Qabaliya. The firebomb hit a window and did not penetrate into the building. “Death to Arabs” and “revenge” was sprayed in Hebrew graffiti on the exterior walls.

According to the Shin Bet, the cell also committed an attack in the village of Beitillu during December 2015. Smoke bombs were thrown into a house as a family slept inside. Hebrew graffiti, including the word “revenge”, was sprayed on its exterior walls. No one was injured in the incident.
