Israel Foils Hamas Plot to Kidnap Israelis in West Bank
(Ynet News) A Hamas plan to kidnap Israelis in the West Bank during the Hannukah holiday was thwarted by Israeli security forces, the Israel Security Agency said Wednesday. A Hamas terror cell from the village of Tell near Nablus planned to abduct a soldier or an Israeli civilian from a bus stop in the Samaria region. Hamas member Muad Ashtiyya, 26, planned the attack, purchased weapons to carry it out, and recruited Mohammad Ramadan and Ahmad Ramadan, both 19, to join the cell. The cell members were in contact with Omar Atzida, a member of the Hamas command in Gaza.
