Palestinian police arrested 10 Hamas members Wednesday in the Gaza Strip for planning a terror bombing in Tel Aviv. The attack, planned to take place three weeks ago, was thwarted when Palestinian officials passed information about the bombing to U.S. officials, who passed the information on to Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Tuesday that the information had led Israeli security officials to a house north of Tel Aviv where the bomb, ready for detonation, had been hidden.
