Israel Thwarts Hamas Suicide Bus Bombing in Jerusalem
(Jerusalem Post) The Israel Security Agency announced on Tuesday the arrest last month of Hamas operative Muhammad Fuaz Ibrahim Julani from Shuafat, who planned a number of terror attacks in the Jerusalem area, including a suicide bombing on a bus in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood. Julani had discussed a number of potential attacks with his Hamas handlers in Gaza, including a shooting attack at the Hizme checkpoint, a bombing at a store in Jerusalem he had formerly worked at, and bombing attacks at sites in Jerusalem that would cause mass casualties, such as the Central Bus Station and the Malha Mall. But attacks on these high-profile targets were ruled out due to the heavy Israeli security presence.
