(Israel Defense Forces) The Israel Security Agency (ISA) has unveiled an attempt by a Hamas terrorist who was transferred to Gaza as part of the deal to release kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, to recruit terrorists in the West Bank to abduct more IDF soldiers. Omar Abu-Snina sent his family in Hebron a memory card for terror activists with detailed instructions of how to execute an abduction of an IDF soldier. The ISA captured the memory card. Among the instructions was: "Avoid hiding (the kidnapped) in desolate places, tunnels or forests, unless the aforementioned is a corpse or a severed head. If the aforementioned is a live human, that must be visited at least once a week and provided with food and drink, it is best to hide him in a house, an agricultural farm, a workplace, etc." Abu-Snina, a former Fatah terrorist, was in prison for murder and other terror activities. While in prison, he joined Hamas. He was released in October 2011.
