Israel's Mossad Aims to Thwart Terrorist Attacks Abroad by Released Palestinian Terrorists

(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Some 230 dangerous Palestinian terrorists will be deported abroad as part of the hostage-ceasefire deal in Gaza. The Israeli security establishment fears that many will return to terrorist activities against Israel, including attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions abroad, kidnappings of Israelis, smuggling operations to Iran, establishing terrorist infrastructures abroad, and directing terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria, as well as within Israel itself. In Istanbul, the "West Bank headquarters" of Hamas's military wing, primarily composed of terrorists expelled in the Shalit deal, operates under the full protection of Turkish intelligence and President Erdogan. The large-scale release of high-profile terrorists will place an immense burden on Israel's Mossad, requiring extensive surveillance to thwart potential attacks. Although tracking and eliminating them would be easier within Judea and Samaria and Gaza, their removal abroad would sever direct contact with the Palestinian population. The Israel Security Agency assesses that many of the released terrorists are highly motivated to resume terrorist activity.
