IDF: Hamas Planning to Resume Attacks in West Bank
(Ha'aretz) Avi Issacharoff and Amos Harel - Hamas headquarters in Damascus and Gaza are pressuring Hamas cells in the West Bank to resume efforts to kill Israeli soldiers or civilians and abduct their bodies, Palestinian and Israeli security sources have told Ha'aretz. Hamas plans to kill them and then negotiate returning their bodies to Israel, in view of the effect IDF soldier Gilad Shalit's abduction has had on Israeli public opinion. The Palestinian Authority and Israel have recently captured five cells in the Ramallah region planning to kill Israelis and abduct their bodies.
