Shin Bet: Al-Aqsa TV used on-air signals to help Hamas coordinate terror attacks
2019-02-14
[IsraelTimes] Security service says Gazoo terror group tried to recruit Paleostinians in West Bank, Jerusalem who have Israeli ID cards to conduct attacks, including a planned suicide bus bombing

The Shin Bet security service on Wednesday accused the Paleostinian al-Aqsa broadcaster and Gazoo-based journalists of acting as agents of the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group’s military wing in an effort to recruit young Paleostinians with Israeli ID cards to carry out terror attacks inside Israel.

According to the security service, the al-Aqsa television station was used to pass clandestine messages to Hamas operatives in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, using quotes from the Koran or subtle gestures by the presenters. The Shin Bet named two presenters who it said conveyed messages from Gazoo via signals on air, and cited an instance in which a presenter did so by placing a cup of tea on a desk and reciting a line from a poem.

#1  Not surprising. It is a standard bit of tradecraft to use a classified ad in a newspaper to send a signal. This is just a more modern version. With the additional advantage that your people don't need to know how to read.
(I'm assuming Paleo schools are no better than ours)
