Dozens of Terror Attacks Directed by Turkey-Based Hamas Operatives Foiled
(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - The Israel Security Agency said Sunday it had foiled dozens of planned terror attacks in the West Bank over the past year that were directed by Hamas operatives based in Turkey. "Over the years, and with increased intensity over the past year, operatives in the West Bank Headquarters have been directing and advancing extensive military activity into the West Bank and Israel from Turkish soil, including recruiting operatives to carry out attacks and transferring weapons and funds into the area to advance military activity," the ISA said. Senior Hamas official Zaher Jabarin, based in Istanbul, heads Hamas's West Bank activity. The agency said Hamas operatives "carry out their activities unhindered from Turkish territory," and exploit "infrastructure in the country to transfer instructions and funds" to terrorists.
