Hizbullah Enlisting Former Fatah Operatives for Terror Attacks Against Israel
(Maariv Hashavua-Jerusalem Post) Yasser Okbi - Hizbullah has been working intensively to enlist former operatives from Fatah's Al Aksa Brigades to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank and inside Israel, the Saudi daily Okaz reported Sunday, quoting a Palestinian security source. "Among those Hizbullah members involved in the operation is Kayis Ubayid, who was behind the kidnapping of Col. (res.) Elhanan Tannenbaum in 2000." The source said that the matter was a security challenge for the Palestinian Authority, which is also acting against Hamas' efforts to revive its military wing, the Kassam Brigades, in the West Bank.
