The Shin Bet
has broken up the beautiful downtown Ramallah branch of Hamas and has arrested its 30 members. As a bonus, it turns out that two of them were participants in the
lynching of two IDF reservists (pictured above) in October 2000.
The men set up a
headquarters for Hamas in the West Bank city traditionally seen as a
Fatah stronghold, and operated in the areas of the Binyamin region of
the West Bank, according to security forces.
"During questioning
of suspects by the Shin Bet, it emerged that the headquarters sought to
renew Hamas's activities and rebuilt the organization in the Ramallah
area… ahead of the future elections in the Palestinian Authority"
security forces said.
The Shin Bet identified Murad Muhammad
Khaled Abu Baha as the head of the cell, naming several regional
subordinates. Maher Ayoub Abd Dalashiya was named as the alleged money
man.
A man named Matzav Muhammad Ahmed Sarur was responsible for recruiting students, security forces added.
The
recruitment drive involved the setting up of Hamas student cells in
West Bank universities, in the Ramallah and Abu Dis areas.
Hamas
transferred large funds through student bodies, and some of the money
was earmarked for Hamas prisoners and their families, according to the
Shin Bet.
The suspects also tried to set up student cells in Hebron and Bethlehem, though those efforts were interrupted by the arrests.
...
Two of the suspects confessed to taking part in the
October 2000 lynch of two IDF reservists who mistakenly entered Ramallah
and were beaten to death by a frenzied Palestinian mob.
And you still wonder why almost no Jews in this country want to turn control of Judea and Samaria over to the 'Palestinian Authority'?
Let's hope they are buried in the darkest blackest coldest pit Israel can find, after being dealt with in a suitable way...
