Israel Nabs Gaza Terrorist
(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - Israel Security Agency (ISA) officers operating in Gaza in May arrested Ayub Azam Abu-Karim, 22, a wanted terror suspect linked to dozens of attacks against Israeli targets, including placing explosives, shooting attacks, and firing rockets and mortar shells. Both the IDF and the ISA conduct periodic sweeps near the Gaza border. Karim's arrest was another indication of the existence of smaller terror entities in Gaza, which follow Hamas orders without officially declaring their affiliation with it. The "Defenders of al-Aqsa," a Hamas offshoot, enjoys direct funding from Fathi Hamad, the Hamas interior minister in Gaza.
