Israel's internal security service Shin Bet caught 11 alleged Hamas fighters planning attacks against Israel, the security service told AFP Monday. 

“Its activists were engaged in planning various attacks, including a suicide attack,” Shin Bet said in a statement.

The Hebron-based group was arrested Monday, Shin Bet told AFP, after suspects confessed to a failed attempt at a suicide bomb in Tel Rumeida, a Jewish enclave. Two of the suspects were named as Suhaib Mamun Sultan, 20 and Salem Abbas Sultan, 28, the group's leaders.
