Israel Foils Hamas Mass-Casualty Jihad Attacks in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

While jihad attacks are a feature of daily life in Israel, especially during the “holy” month of Ramadan that just ended, but by no means limited to it, the UN and the world human rights organizations still persist in producing anti-Israel propaganda suffused with Jew-hatred. The UN is not a protector of human rights. It is unbalanced, unhinged, a danger to this country, our allies, the world. And remember: if these jihad plots had been successful, the Muslims who carried them out would have been celebrated as heroes among the “Palestinians.” It is a culture that loves death and proudly announces the fact.

“Israel Foils Hamas Mass-Casualty Attacks in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem,” by Yona Schnitzer, United With Israel, June 17, 2018:

“The uncovering of this case demonstrates, once again, the efforts invested by Hamas in order to establish terror infrastructures in Judea and Samaria, with the objective of promoting serious terrorist attacks in Israel,” said a senior Shin Bet official.

A large terrorist network operating in the Nablus (Shechem) region that plotted major attacks in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem has been foiled by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), IDF and Israeli Police in recent months, the security agency revealed Sunday.

The network operated from October 2017 until the arrest of its operatives in April. It consisted of over 20 operatives, most of who belong to Hamas, and includes individuals with a “rich history of terrorist activities and the production of explosive devices,” the Shin Bet statement said.

Interrogation of the detainees revealed that they had planned to carry out major attacks in large Israeli cities, including planting a bomb in Tel Aviv, a suicide attack in Jerusalem and a shooting attack in Samaria.

Shin Bet agents discovered a powerful 10-kilogram explosive device with cellular activation while investigating the case as well as 15 additional kilograms of explosives alongside bomb-making materials and instructions.

The network was headed by two Hamas operatives, Moatatzem Muhamad Salem (35) and Faras Kamal Zbidi (33), both from Nablus, who were responsible for recruiting the network’s members, planning the attacks and manufacturing the explosive devices.
