Israel Arrests Hamas Explosives Expert
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - The Israel Security Agency has foiled a series of attempts by Hamas to establish terror cells in the West Bank in order to carry out simultaneous deadly attacks in Israel. The agency said Wednesday it had arrested an explosives expert who had trained for a year to set up a laboratory in the West Bank to manufacture explosive devices. Fadi Abu al-Sabah, 35, had entered Israel with a humanitarian permit for medical treatment, and was arrested on May 18, 2019. "The thwarting of terror cells exposed the constant effort by Hamas' military wing in establishing terrorist infrastructures in the West Bank to carry out attacks against Israeli citizens," a senior ISA official said.
