(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The Israel Defense Forces suspect that a Hamas cell carried out terror attacks in the West Bank city of Hebron over the past several weeks, in contradiction to the group's call for calm (tahdiya) in the territories. On Friday, after an explosion in a Hebron apartment wounded three Palestinians, IDF troops discovered an explosives lab. Four pipe bombs made in the apartment by Hamas men were used against IDF troops in Hebron over the past few weeks. Three months ago members of a cell with links to Hamas were arrested in Hebron on suspicion of carrying out a shooting attack in which six Israelis were killed.
