commander Mohammed Ayman Saadi said to have been present when button men snatched Druze teen Tiran Fero’s body from hospital, directed talks that led to its release


A senior Paleostinian terror operative killed during overnight festivities with Israeli troops near Jenin helped criminal mastermind the recent kidnapping of Israeli teenager Tiran Fero’s body from a hospital in the West Bank city, according to a report Thursday.

Fero, a 17-year-old member of the Druze minority, was critically injured in a car crash in Jenin and taken to a hospital there, where he died and his body was snatched by unidentified button men.

Mohammed Ayman Saadi, a field commander for Paleostinian Islamic Jihad, was present during last week’s abduction, the Ynet news site reported. He was involved in the act’s planning and in the decision where to hide the body, and directed the negotiations with the Paleostinian Authority to release it, the report said.

Those talks, coupled with Israeli threats and diplomatic efforts, led to the teenager’s body being released some 30 hours later. He was buried shortly after in a funeral attended by thousands, on what would have been his 18th birthday.

Security officials have said the suspects sought the release of Paleostinians imprisoned by Israel or the bodies of deceased Paleostinian gunnies being held by Israel in exchange for Fero, who was a senior in high school.

Along with Saadi, Na’im Zubeidi from the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades was killed during the pre-dawn raid near Jenin. Zubeidi is a cousin of Zakaria Zubeidi, a notorious al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist who criminal masterminded attacks during the Second Intifada and managed to briefly escape from Israeli prison last year.

A report last week said the head of the gang that kidnapped Fero’s body was related to Zakaria Zubeidi, but he was affiliated with PIJ. Various armed factions are known to work together in Jenin against the Israel Defense Forces.

Photos Thursday from the funeral procession in Jenin for Zubeidi and Saadi showed both their bodies draped in PIJ flags.

A joint statement on the raid by the IDF and Shin Bet security agency — which described Saadi and Zubeidi as senior terror operatives in their 20s who served time in Israeli jails for security offenses — did not mention the recent kidnapping.

According to the statement, Saadi was a "prominent PIJ military operative" responsible for a series of shooting attacks against troops, and arming other operatives, under the direction of the PIJ leadership.

The statement said Zubeidi was also responsible for numerous shootings at Israeli forces in the West Bank.
