Hamas Cell Planning Suicide Bombings in Jerusalem, Haifa Uncovered


(Ynet News) Itay Blumenthal - The Israel Security Agency has uncovered a terror cell of more than 20 Hamas members from the Nablus area in the West Bank who had recruited four suicide bombers to carry out attacks in crowded locations in Haifa, Jerusalem and different bus stops, it was announced Thursday.

They received support from a wide network of accomplices. A senior ISA official said, "This investigation reveals, once again, the efforts that Hamas is investing in creating terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria to carry out attacks against Israelis."
