| Hamas Higher-Up In Gaza Pulled Trigger On Teens' Abduction | |
| 2014-09-11 | |
The three teenagers were killed shortly after they were picked up from a hitchhiking post in the West Bank, south of Jerusalem. The officials said that although the Hamas leadership repeatedly denied involvement in the attack, the terror organization's military and political wings knew about the plans in advance and had approved similar activities. Abed a-Rahman Ghaminat, one of the heads of a cell in Zurif (a village not far from Bethlehem) and a former resident of the village, was the Hamas military wing's appointed leader over the Hebron area. Ghaminat was released from an Israeli prison in October 2011, and was deported to the Gazoo Strip. Like many others who were freed and deported as part of the Shalit deal, Ghaminat joined a special office under the Hamas military wing in Gazoo, which operated under the leadership of the Turkey-based Saleh al-Arouri, one of the heads of the organization living in Ankara. The office hired several of the exiled prisoners to oversee the terror cells in the West Bank. Working from Gazoo, Ghaminat was responsible for the Hebron area, along with another ex-prisoner released under the Shalit deal, Ayed Dodin, a Hamas man and resident of Dura, south of Hebron. Ghaminat and Dodin attempted in past years to carry out numerous terror attacks in the Hebron area, and were responsible for raising the money for Hamas activities. Traveling through Egypt, the two also visited Turkey and Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... more than once in the past two years to coordinate the Hamas schemes with Arouri, as well as with other political heads of Hamas living abroad. Ghaminat was involved in the abduction and killing of IDF soldier Edri in 1996, as well as in the 1997 bombing of Café Apropo in Tel Aviv, in which three women were killed. According to the Paleostinian sources, Mahmoud Kawasme -- another prisoner freed in the 2011 deal -- worked under Ghaminat in Gazoo. Kawasme recruited his brother Hussam and transferred NIS 200,000 to his account (according to the Shin Bet interrogation) to carry out the kidnapping. Hussam Kawasme was indicted in an Israeli court last week. The three teenagers -- Gil-ad Shaar, 16, Naftali Fraenkel, 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19 -- were buried by the abductors/killers Marwan Kawasme and Amer Abu Aysha on a plot of land that Hussam Kawasme bought, not far from the village of Halhul. The two killers are still on the run. | |
