The General Security Service (Shin Bet) and the IDF have cracked a large, Damascus funded Hamas terrorist infrastructure in the Ramallah area, security officials reported Tuesday.

The infrastructure, comprised of 22 terrorists, was collectively responsible for the deaths of ten Israelis and the wounding of a dozen more, and were in the planning stages of a particularly vicious and sophisticated attack on IDF troops in the area.

According to officials, the plan was to crash a truck into an IDF jeep from one side; and then open fire on the soldiers from another car. Once the IDF troops had been killed, the cell members would snatch the soldiers' bodies, decapitate them, stuff them into the getaway car, and use them as bargaining chips in future negotiations for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

According to security officials, the Hamas cell had purchased the required tools needed for decapitation.

The infrastructure was divided into three separate cells from the Ramallah area villages of Kober Silwaj and Mizra Shalkiya. One team was made up of the 'operators' to carry out attacks, another 'lookout' unit deployed to alert the perpetrators incase IDF forces arrived, and a third getaway team with two vehicles at their disposal.

1. Thank you for this post!

"The same official said he was unaware of the fact that Hamas recently stated it would stop attacks inside "Green Line" Israel."
:crazy:

"The official said the infrastructure operated as a full-fledged military unit. The cells transferred weapons to and from different areas in the West Bank to be used in attacks, hiding the arms in a garbage truck.

The senior security official said that the infrastructure was funded by Hamas headquarters in Damascus, and had received at least $80,000 from their home base in Syria.

The official also noted that according to initial findings the Palestinian Authority was not aware of Hamas activities, as they "have a problem in compiling intelligence."

Well, I'll certainly take his word on that! :wow:
