Shin Bet foils Hamas terrorist conspiracy, rounds up 6 suspects

Six Palestinians were detained in Judea and Samaria on suspicion of following the orders of a known Hamas terrorist to prepare a wave of terrorist attacks against Israel. Abdallah Arar, who was serving time for the kidnap and murder of an Israeli, was freed from jail as part of the prisoner swap deal for the release of Gilead Shalit. It was on his instructions that Alaa Salim from the village of Jaba’a mobilized a cell for terrorist action. He was given cash to buy an M16 rifle. Sources of the Shin Bet security service report the Hamas command in the Gaza Strip is going to great lengths to activate its West Bank cells for attacks.
