'Palestinian' terrorists planned to kidnap mother and baby
Nine members of a 'Palestinian' terror cell have been arrested for attempting to kidnap Jews in March of this year. Among the intended victims were a mother and her baby. Nine youths have been arrested by Israel and the Palestinian Authority. They were members of a cell that was led by Mahmad Ramdan, 22, and were affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).YNet adds:
According to the Shin Bet, the cell members rented a car in March and traveled throughout the West Bank where they tried to kidnap a soldier without success.
On March 11, the cell members attacked an Israeli driver near Kiryat Sefer. They blocked his car on the road and tried to pull him from the vehicle. A day later, the cell members attacked another driver near the settlement of Ma'ale Levona. They blocked the driver's car and smashed the car's windows but fled the scene after another car was spotted approaching.
On March 15, the cell tried again and attacked a woman who was driving with her baby close to midnight near the settlement of Beit El. The cell members blocked the road, smashed the front windshield but fled after another car appeared nearby.
The cell members obtained an electrical shocker, tear gas, a lighter that looks like a gun and planned to hide the kidnapped Israeli in a cave or an apartment near Ramallah. They then planned to film the kidnapped Israeli and post the video on the Internet with a demand to release Palestinian prisoners currently in Israeli jails.
On March 15, shortly after midnight, they attacked an Israeli woman who was travelling with her baby daughter from Givat Assaf to Beit El. The terrorists blocked the woman's car and shattered its windshield with blunt objects, but they fled the scene when another Israeli vehicle approached.Kidnapping soldiers is despicable but a risk of their position. Kidnapping mothers and babies is just plain
Three days prior to that incident the terrorists attacked a female driver who was travelling along the road leading to the Ma'ale Levona settlement. They shattered the vehicle's windshield, but the woman managed to flee the scene in her car.
Some 24 hours earlier the terrorists attacked an Israeli man who travelling towards Kiryat Sefer. They tried to pull the man out of the vehicle, but he managed to escape.
The terror cell was headed by Mouhmad Ramdan (22) of al-Bira. Some of the terrorists, who are affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, are being held in Israel, while others are in the custody of the Palestinian Authority.
