Hamas’s suspect in killing of terror mastermind identified as Ashraf Abu Layla
2017-05-13
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian media says 37-year-old who allegedly assassinated Mazen Faqha is a former Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, member ejected over ’moral transgressions.

The man whom Hamas suspects assassinated one of its terror chiefs in March was identified Friday as Ashraf Abu Layla, a 37-year-old former Hamas member from the central Gazoo Strip.

revealed Abu Layla’s identity, a day after the terror group announced his arrest. They said Abu Layla was a member of Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, but was thrown out years ago over "moral transgressions."

Reports in the Paleostinian media claimed Abu Layla then joined a radical Salafist group before eventually being recruited by the Mossad to carry out the killing.

On Thursday, Hamas announced the arrest of the man who, it said, assassinated Faqha in March. The Islamist terror group claimed he confessed to acting on orders from Israel, and indicated he would face execution.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman has said that Hamas was responsible for the killing and that it came about as a result of an internal dispute.

Since Faqha’s killing, Hamas leaders have threatened to carry out a Dire Revenge attack against Israel.

On Wednesday, the Hebrew daily Israel Hayom quoted defense officials as saying that Hamas is increasing its efforts to carry out a big terrorist attack in the West Bank to avenge the killing of Faqha.

Other [Gazoo] sources mentioned that he was a car dealer and that his brother was a senior member of the military wing of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,. It was also claimed that some of Abu Laila's family members work in various government institutions in Gazoo that are subordinate to Hamas.

On Thursday, the Hamas military prosecution in Gazoo carried out a reenactment of the liquidation with the suspect after Haniyeh officially announced that he had been tossed in the calaboose

along with others involved in the liquidation. It was not divulged who the others were.
