Hamas Plans to Resume Suicide Attacks in Israel
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - Hamas is planning to resume suicide bombing attacks against Israelis, including "political and security figures inside Israel," Lebanon's The News reported. Israeli officials are aware of the directive to resume the bombings, The News reported. Israel ten days ago uncovered a Hamas cell operating in east Jerusalem, which had been planning suicide attacks. The cell was controlled by Hamas leadership in Gaza. A senior Palestinian Authority source told the Times of Israel last week that Hamas is attempting to launch major terror attacks against Israel, including suicide bombings, from the West Bank. Information gleaned from interrogations of Hamas operatives arrested recently by PA security services reveals orders from the group's leaders in Gaza and abroad to escalate their activities, encouraging protests and stabbing attacks as well as more dramatic and deadly assaults on Israeli civilians.
