A bag full of explosives located in a wooded area of Metulla near the Lebanese border last month was smuggled into Israel by Hezbollah, the defense establishment now believes.

Defense sources estimate that the explosives were smuggled into Israel from Lebanon with the intention of being used in a terror attack.

A Hezbollah “courier” was likely supposed to collect the explosives, however a local farmer found the bag first, spoiling the plot.
