(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Three Palestinians suspected of being recruited by Hizballah to compile intelligence on the deployment of IDF troops and the locations of IDF bases, and surveil the movements of an Israeli VIP who was to be targeted for attack, were arrested in Nablus on Feb. 25. Security officials said Hizballah's involvement in Palestinian terror cells is especially predominant in Samaria and Gaza. Hizballah contacted Palestinians visiting relatives in Lebanon in order to recruit them. One suspect admitted he photographed military checkpoints and settlements and transferred the photos over the Internet to his handlers in Lebanon. He was also given a GPS device, which he used to pinpoint the locations of various targets for his handlers.
