Argaman, Shin Bet security service head, said on Monday that his agency foiled over 560 terror attacks, including ten suicide attacks, four kidnapping attacks, and over 300 shooting attacks, Xinhua reported.

"The past year was filled with security challenges on all the fronts in which we operate," said Argaman.
