Israel's military has concluded that Hamas seeks to torpedo the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Israeli military sources said military intelligence has obtained information of Hamas plans to carry out suicide strikes to shatter the ceasefire declared in February 2004. The sources said the Hamas plans stem from operatives in the northern West Bank. Some of the information on Hamas's plans came from a senior operative, identified as Said Ahras. Ahras, said to be a key operative in the northern West Bank, was captured on Feb. 21 in a joint military-police operation near Nablus. The sources said Ahras planned a major attack on Israeli military forces in the Nablus area. They said Ahras was promised that he would receive several large bombs from Hamas in Nablus.
