Defense Minister Ehud Barak hinted Wednesday that Israel has prevented two terror attacks that were planned against Israeli targets abroad. "We thwarted at least two terror attacks recently, with the help of foreign elements," Barak said in a briefing with reporters for the Jewish New Year.
Barak added that the risk to Israelis was especially great in Muslim countries where Israel has no security personnel or intelligence infrastructure.
"Being Israeli means being responsible," he said.
