Hamas commander involved in kidnap of Israeli teens expelled from Qatar
2017-06-06
[IsraelTimes] Saleh al-Arouri now reportedly in Malaysia after being told to leave Doha along with several other Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror chiefs.

and Malaysia.

The sources contradicted Hamas’s denial of the expulsion orders, which were first reported over the weekend by the Lebanese-based Al Mayadeen news channel.

joined the boycott on Monday.

The list of Hamas officials Qatar has asked to leave its territory -- reportedly gleaned from interrogations of Paleostinian security prisoners in Israel -- included Saleh al-Arouri, said to be the group’s military commander in the West Bank and the founder of the West Bank branch of Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

According to Army Radio, Arouri is now in Malaysia following his expulsion from Qatar.

Arouri served several terms in Israeli jails, and was released in March 2010, apparently within the framework of talks to free Gilad Shalit, the IDF corporal kidnapped by Hamas in 2006.

According to the Ynet news site, Arouri went on to be involved in sewing up the deal that provided for the release of more than 1,000 Paleostinian prisoners from Israeli jails in return for the freeing of Shalit.

Israeli intelligence officials believe that Arouri helped plan the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens -- Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel.

That event was followed by a sharp crackdown on Hamas operatives in the West Bank by Israel, to which Hamas responded with heavy rocket fire into Israel. The rocket fire was answered, in turn, by Israel’s launching of a major operation against Gazoo, which turned into all-out war between Hamas and the Jewish state during the summer of 2014.

In addition to Arouri, Hamas terrorist Musa Dudin, who was released from an Israeli prison under the Shalit deal, was also expelled from Qatar, according to Army Radio. The report did not say which country he was expelled to.

Qatari officials have reportedly apologized for having to expel Hamas officials, but said it came as a result of "external pressures" on Doha, without giving details.
