Terror groups planning major attacks on Israel's 60th

        Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin warned the government Tuesday that Palestinian terror organizations are interested in executing a large-scale terrorist attack ahead of Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations. Yadlin said that the attack may be at the Gaza border, similar to the one  Hamas failed at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Yadlin added that Hamas was also trying to break the blockade of Gaza by causing another border breach. Due to Egypt's tightened security, however, Yadlin believes that this time the Hamas will focus on the Israeli border. At first, Yadlin said, the organization would prefer a popular uprising, similar to the border breach in January. "However if the popular move fails, Hamas may try to breach the border in a military operation," he warned. Yadlin said that Hamas may also attempt kidnapping Israelis, placing snipers at the borders and placing explosive devices in the area. According to Yadlin, the political leaders of Hamas are losing some of their power to the Islamic group's military leaders.(19,25)
