Turkey Tells Local Hamas Operatives to Cut Back on Anti-Israel Terror
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Turkish intelligence has asked Saleh Aruri, a senior Hamas military operative based in Turkey, to cut back on his anti-Israel terrorist activity, due to fears that the U.S. will accuse Turkey of abetting terror. Israel deported Aruri five years ago after his release in the prisoner swap for Gilad Shalit. Today, from his base in Turkey, he commands Hamas' West Bank division. Israeli defense officials recently said Hamas was running terrorist training camps in the country, while Turkish authorities turned a blind eye, spurring the U.S. to demand explanations from Turkey.
