Israeli Arab Collected Intelligence for Hamas

(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Zahar Ali, a resident of the Galilee village of Kaukab, who is studying for a masters degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was arrested three weeks ago on suspicion of collecting intelligence for a Hamas terror cell in Hebron, the Shin Bet security service said Wednesday. Ali is suspected of having picked out the Caffit coffee shop in Jerusalem as a target for a terror attack. A suicide bomber was sent to the location on July 11, but changed his mind at the last moment and returned to Hebron. The man was killed two days later in a clash with IDF troops who attempted to arrest him. Ali recommended numerous other targets to the Hebron cell, including a coffee shop at the university and a wedding hall in the Talpiot neighborhood. He also took photographs of a security installation in the Galilee for the purpose of planning a terror attack there.
