Follow up to yesterday’s arrest of Hamas turban Fadi Abu Shkhaydam. [IsraelTimes] The wife of the Old City terrorist has been arrested by Israeli security forces at the Allenby Crossing upon her return to the West Bank from Jordan, the family’s lawyer, Medhet Dabih, told Paleostinian media.She is being questioned by the Shin Bet security service, the reports say. The woman is claiming she was in Jordan to visit her mother, who is sick with cancer, according to the Kan public broadcaster. Her husband, Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, gunman Fadi Abu Shkhaydam, shot and killed Israeli Eli Kay, 26, and injured four others in Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday. The Shin Bet declines to comment.
The Israel Police did not respond to a request for comment. On Palestinian social media, some speculated that Jordanian authorities had deported Sou’ad at the request of Israeli authorities. Diba dismissed the allegation as a “rumor.” “She returned to the country on her own to be with her children and family,” he said in a phone call. In Shuafat, Fadi Abu Shkhaydam raised five children — three boys and two daughters — and taught Islamic law at a boys high school, for which he received a salary from the Jerusalem municipality. According to Israeli authorities, he was a member of Hamas’s civilian branch, rather than its armed wing. | |
