(Ynet News) Elior Levy and Yoav Zitun - An IDF unit working undercover in Hebron on Tuesday arrested Ayoub al-Qawasmi, one of Hamas' military commanders in the West Bank. Qawasmi, 50, was involved in terrorist attacks against Israelis during the Second Intifada and has recently sought to renew Hamas' terror infrastructure in the West Bank.
