Israeli authorities have filed charges against three Palestinians who allegedly planned to assassinate Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Al Jazeera reports, citing Israeli media.

A joint statement by Israel’s police and Shin Bet security service claimed the trio from the occupied West Bank’s Hebron city sought assistance from Hamas and Hezbollah in orchestrating the plot, according to The Times of Israel newspaper.

The accused monitored Ben-Gvir and his sons, who reside in the nearby illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, AJ quoted the statement as saying.

In April, Shin Bet said it had thwarted a cell plotting to wage attacks in Israel and the West Bank, including one to assassinate Ben-Gvir.
