Israel Foils Hamas Suicide Bombing Plot Directed from Turkey
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - The Israel Security Agency said Monday that in December 2023, Anas Shurman, a Palestinian from Tulkarm who resides in Jordan, was recruited by Imad Abid, a Hamas operative living in Turkey, to carry out a suicide bombing on behalf of Hamas against a target inside Israel. Shurman filmed a last will, took motorcycle lessons for the attack, and received funds and instructions to carry out the bombing, including where to collect the explosive device in the West Bank. The large fragmentation bomb weighing 12 kg. was seized by the ISA from a spring. Shurman and additional Hamas members from Nablus, who were involved in manufacturing the bomb and hiding it, were detained.
