Austria sentences Hamas man to life for terror plot in Israel
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian released in 2011 Shalit deal sought to enlist West Bank residents to carry out grenade attacks in Jerusalem

Austria sentenced a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", operative to life in prison for enlisting Paleostinians in the West Bank to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets.

The Paleostinian man, whose name is being held under gag order in Austria, was sentenced last week, Israel’s Justice Ministry said in a statement.

The Hamas operative was previously serving a life sentence in Israel, but was released to the Gazoo Strip in the 2011 prisoner exchange deal for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. He later relocated to Austria.

In 2016, the Paleostinian man contacted two residents of the West Bank over the internet and enlisted them to carry out grenade attacks in Jerusalem and to assemble additional cell members.

The planned attacks were never carried out.

After learning of the Hamas member’s intentions, the Shin Bet security agency was able to track him to Austria. The agency also incarcerated

four Paleostinians suspected of involvement in the planned attacks, the Justice Ministry said.

Israel also transferred intelligence on the Hamas operative to Austrian authorities, leading to his arrest in Austria.

At Austria’s request, Israel also provided legal assistance in the case, including by allowing the Austrian judge to question the four West Bank residents suspected of involvement in the planned attacks by video conference.
