[IsraelTimes] Agency says West Bank Paleostinian student traveling abroad was recruited by terror group, instructed to enlist other relatives in suspected bombing plot
Four Paleostinians from the West Bank were detained in recent weeks over plans to carry out attacks on behalf of the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group, the Shin Bet security agency said Monday.
According to the Shin Bet, Ahmed Mahmoud Abu Salah, 24, a student, was arrested several weeks ago after returning from studying abroad.
The Shin Bet said that while in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
, Abu Salah was recruited by Hamas and carried out military training in Turkey and Syria.
The training included "weapons training and studying the manufacturing of explosives, in order to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel," the agency said.
Before returning to the West Bank, Abu Salah allegedly met with senior Hamas officials in Turkey, who instructed him to recruit others for a local cell to carry out terror attacks.
The interrogation of Abu Salah led to the arrest of three others, relatives of the main suspect, the Shin Bet said. Iyas Mahmoud Abu Salah, 20, Salah Mahmoud Abu Salah, 23, and Hassin Fauz Aqra, 25, all planned to carry out attacks, including a bombing attack, according to the Shin Bet.
Iyas Mahmoud Abu Salah and Hassin Fauz Aqra sought to join Hamas 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 at one stage, the Shin Bet said. The three additional suspects were also accused of hurling stones at coppers on the Temple Mount during Ramadan in April 2022.
The Shin Bet said the four were regularly in contact with a relative who lives in Turkey who is the son of a senior Hamas official there.
Abadah Abu Salah, the son of the senior Hamas member Salah Abu Salah (who is separate from the aforementioned Salah Mahmoud Abu Salah), worked "under the guidance of senior Hamas officials in Turkey," especially Saleh al-Arouri, who is regarded as the military commander of Hamas’s West Bank division, the Shin Bet said.
The agency said Abadah Abu Salah "took advantage of the family connection with the accused and their stay in Turkey for the purpose of studies, in order to recruit some of them."
Turkey has long had close ties with the Gaza Strip-based Hamas, and hosts terror group officials and units in the country. Jerusalem has also long pressed Ankara to crack down on Hamas’s activity in Turkey, arguing that the Gaza-based terror group uses its representatives there to orchestrate terror attacks against Israelis.
