[IsraelTimes] Security forces confiscate rifles and cash while arresting suspects, who are on the student council at Birzeit University

An attempt by Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
to carry out a shooting attack in the West Bank directed by members of the terror group in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
was foiled recently, the Shin Bet announced on Sunday.

According to the security agency, the cell was made up of Hamas representatives on the student council at Birzeit University in the West Bank

The Shin Bet said the cell was given instructions and funding by Hamas’s branch in Turkey.

The suspected leader of the cell was identified as Mahmoud Anjatz, a resident of Kharbatha Bani Harith who the IDF said recruited the four others who were arrested with him.

Members of the cell were recently arrested by police’s elite Gideonim unit, and an assault rifle and thousands of dollars in cash provided by Hamas were also seized, the agency said.

The evidence gathered during the investigation and arrest were handed over to the military’s prosecution teams, and indictments are expected to be filed, the statement said.

It added that it had arrested many students from West Bank universities in recent weeks who were suspected of terrorist activity.

"The Shin Bet will continue to work diligently to thwart any attempt by terrorist organizations to advance terrorist activity against the State of Israel, its citizens, and its residents and to bring those involved in such activities to justice," the agency wrote.

Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,400 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,850 affiliated with Hamas.

According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 560 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were killed in festivities with button men during raids, or holy warriors carrying out attacks.

During the same period, 22 Israelis, including security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another five members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
