[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian security forces arrest 15 for links to terror group; wanted Sinai Islamist leader said hiding in Gazoo

Paleostinian security forces have discovered that an Israeli Arab resident of East Jerusalem, a divorced mother of two, flew to Syria and joined the ranks of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, senior Paleostinian sources told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.

The Arab Israeli woman is currently in Raqqa, Syria, the city that is considered the terror group's organizational hub in Iraq and Syria. Her children live in a village near Jerusalem.

The officials further said the PA has detained 15 Paleostinians in the West Bank for links to the jihadist group, and said a senior IS-linked commander from the Sinai Peninsula, who is wanted by Egypt, is hiding out in the Gazoo Strip.

in recent months by the Paleostinian security apparatus in the West Bank, the officials said. Several of them were held for identifying with the jihadist group ideologically, while others for concrete links to the Islamic State.

To date, the PA has arrested dozens of people on similar charges, but most have been released. Among others, a Paleostinian woman holding citizenship of a Western country was suspected of having ties with IS. She was arrested, sentenced, and served time in prison before she was released.

The Paleostinian officials said the Paleostinian security forces maintain close coordination with the Israeli security forces on the subject of Islamic State in the West Bank, and both sides have been working to thwart the establishment of any cells of the murderous Moslem group in the region.

Israeli forces have arrested several citizens in past months for involvement with the Islamic State. A resident of Nazareth was indicted on Sunday for joining up with the terror group and taking part in fighting in Iraq. Last month, the Shin Bet arrested seven other Israeli citizens who had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State, which has been illegal for Israelis to do since September.

The Paleostinian sources also said Tuesday that one of the most desperados in Egypt, a leader of the Islamic State-affiliate Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis
...Supporters of Jerusalem, the current pen name of al-Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula...
, has been hiding out in Gazoo. Islamist leader Shadi al-Menei beat feet from Sinai to the Gazoo Strip, and is in contact with senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, officials there, including Iman Nofel, one of the commanders of Hamas's armed wing.
