Israel Foils Hamas Plot to Kidnap IDF Soldier, Carry Out Terror Attacks
(Jerusalem Post) The Israel Security Agency (ISA) on Monday announced it had arrested a Hamas terror cell which had planned to kidnap an IDF soldier and to perpetrate shooting and bombing attacks against the IDF in the West Bank. Nine Palestinians affiliated with Hamas were arrested last month in Biddu. The cell used surveillance of IDF patrols to gather intelligence in order to best carry out the kidnapping and the other planned attacks. It also established its own explosives laboratory. Two years ago the ISA thwarted a similar Hamas cell including relatives of many of those in the current cell.
