Former Hamas Minister Behind West Bank Terror Cell
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff and Judah Ari Gross - The man behind the Hamas terror cell of suicide bombers uncovered in the West Bank is former Hamas interior minister Fathi Hamad, Palestinian officials told the Times of Israel Wednesday. Hamad helps to direct "the West Bank branch," comprised of former Palestinian prisoners released in the 2011 Gilad Shalit swap who were deported to Gaza. Hamad is also thought to be in contact with Salafi organizations and Islamic State fighters in Sinai.
