Shin Bet reveals Hamas attempts to recruit West Bank Palestinians for terror
[IsraelTimes] Security agency says most suspects questioned in recent weeks unaware terror group using them; Israel revokes entry permits for 230 relatives of members involved in operation

The Shin Bet security agency on Wednesday said Israel was revoking the entry permits to Israel from 230 Paleostinians in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, relatives of Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, members who allegedly worked to recruit West Bank Paleostinians to help commit attacks.

In a statement, the Shin Bet said in recent weeks dozens of West Bank Paleostinians had been arrested and questioned over their alleged ties with Hamas operatives in Gaza. The agency said many of the young suspects were unaware that Hamas was using them to prepare attacks against Israeli targets.

According to the Shin Bet, the Hamas operatives hid their real identities by masquerading as companies and other entities, while recruiting West Bank Paleostinians for paid work. The Paleostinians in the West Bank would be tasked with transferring funds intended for purchasing weapons or delivering packages of weapons and ammunition to Hamas operatives, it said.

"All this is without the couriers being aware, in most cases, that they are transferring weapons or are involved in terror activity," the Shin Bet said.

The agency says the operation was led by Farah Hamed, 45, a Hamas member from the West Bank town of Silwad who was deported to Gaza as part of the 2011 Shalit deal. The Shin Bet said Hamed was a member of the Gaza-based terror group’s so-called "West Bank headquarters," a unit involved in advancing terror attacks against Israel from the West Bank.

Several of the suspects have been indicted at a military court for various security offenses, including illegal arms dealing.

The Shin Bet detailed the cases of two of the suspects.

The first, Salam Ziad, 27, from the Jalazone refugee camp was contacted on Facebook in July by an account under the name Haled Taleb, offering work for a Ottoman Turkish courier company that works in the West Bank.

Ziad was first tasked with transferring thousands of dollars between different areas in the West Bank, without knowing their intended use.

The Haled Taleb account then presented himself as someone who works for Mohammed Dahlan, a senior Paleostinian Authority politician, and instructed Ziad to purchase several firearms, the Shin Bet said. Ziad purchased three assault rifles, two handguns, and ammunition with the help of his cousin, Ahmed Ziad, also from Jalazone, and was tasked with delivering them to a Hamas operative in Huwara, according to the statement. The weapons were given to brothers Mohammed and Mahmoud Ghazi, who were accused of opening fire at Israeli vehicles on the Route 60 highway, near Huwara on September 9, 2022.

The second suspect detained by the Shin Bet, Mohammed Yazen Jabar, 21, from a-Ram in East Jerusalem, responded to an ad on Facebook seeking workers for a restaurant. Jabar was then contacted by an account going by the name Abu Alaa, who said he was seeking deliverymen to transfer packages of perfume to the West Bank. In August, Abu Alaa instructed Jabar to purchase and deliver assault rifles and handguns to two Hamas operatives in the West Bank, who were both also arrested.

"The Shin Bet’s investigations revealed that some of the money reached those recruits through digital currency traders, who were also deceived by Hamas members," the agency said.

In response to the attempts by the Hamas operatives to set up attacks, Israel revoked the entry permits to Israel from 230 of their relatives.

A security bigshot said "the actions of Hamas and the other terror groups in the Gaza Strip will lead to a reduction in the number of entry permits for workers from Gaza to Israel."

The service warned that the Gaza-based terrorist group was increasingly trying to carry out attacks in the West Bank and Israel.
