(CNN) Kosovo police say they thwarted an ISIS attack plot against Israel's national soccer team and other targets.

The ringleaders behind the planned attacks were members of ISIS in Syria, police said.

According to police, the plot involved synchronized terror attacks in Kosovo and the Balkans, one targeting Israel's national soccer team and fans during the Albania vs. Israel match on November 12.

In a statement Thursday, police said they had arrested 19 people believed to be planning the attacks.
