Shin Bet says it foiled West Bank shooting, bombing attack directed by Hamas from Turkey
2025-04-01
[IsraelTimes] An attempt by Hamas to carry out a shooting and bombing attack in the West Bank, directed by members of the terror group in Turkey, was recently foiled, the Shin Bet announces.

In January and February, six members of the Hamas cell, residents of Nablus, were detained by Israeli forces. The six were interrogated by the Shin Bet and Israel Police on suspicion that they were planning attacks.

The investigation found that the cell was being directed and funded by Hamas in Turkey. The cell received tens of thousands of dollars to carry out attacks on security forces and other targets in the West Bank, the Shin Bet and police say in a joint statement.

An assault rifle and $40,000 in cash were seized during the arrest of three of the suspects on January 29, and another $20,000 was captured during the arrest of another suspect that day, the statement says.

The other suspects were arrested on later dates.

Following the interrogation of one of the suspects, the Shin Bet says troops located a bomb that had been planted by the cell near the Gitai Avisar Junction in the West Bank. The explosive device was successfully neutralized.

The suspects aren’t named by police and the Shin Bet says indictments are expected to be filed against the six in the coming weeks.

#3   Which leads many to believe that Turkey has bought off the Pentagon with more than just Istanbul whores.

It does? I realize I am awfully naive, Muggsy Peacock6312, but I really never picked up on that.

#1  With the funeral involving senior Islamist leaders that followed the death of Turkey's Nekemettin Erbakan in March 2011 the international Muslim Brotherhood agreed to settle its headquarters in Turkey. Since that date Turkey under Erdogan has been only a sometime ally of the USA. Which leads many to believe that Turkey has bought off the Pentagon with more than just Istanbul whores.
