Interior Minister Aryeh Deri signed an order prohibiting three Hamas terrorists from leaving the country. The three are close to Hamas terrorists in turkey who were among those released in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal.

Having received intelligence community reports, Deri decided to issue the orders for the three; Amar Zakariya, Muhmad Diav Jamil Dawik and Salim Ashak Abed Alsalim Guaba. They are all known to be Hamas affiliates who Deri feels may endanger state security if permitted to travel abroad.

Deri made the decision to issue the orders for a one-month period, at which time he will reevaluate the situation.
