Israeli security forces uncovered a large Hamas cell that was in the advanced stages of the preparation of major terror attacks against Israelis in a number of places in Jerusalem and Yehudah and Shomron, the Shin Bet announced on Monday afternoon.
The operation to uncover the cell has been taking place for the last several weeks, during which over 50 Hamas terrorists have been arrested and a large number of weapons was seized, including enough material to make at least four suicide explosive belts.
The Shin Bet said that the cell was led from afar by Zacharia Najib, a Hamas terrorist who was one of the kidnappers of IDF soldier Nachshon Wachsman, hy’d, and was released from Israeli prison as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange in 2011. He was exiled to Turkey, which he uses as his base to continue his Hamas activities.
Saleh al-Arouri, the founding commander of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas military wing, served as the cell’s local leader, raising substantial funds for the cell and offering a $1 million prize if the members successfully kidnapped an Israeli Jew.
Al-Arouri is wanted by the US and is the subject of a $5,000,000 bounty by the Rewards for Justice Program.

The arrested Hamas terrorists should be returned to Gaza, with their dismembered carcasses in garbage bags. Their funeral processionis should be carpet bombed. Such reactions will convey the message of zero tolerance. The appeasement that the Obama and Biden regimes support is deadly for Israel as well as for US. Throughout history, terror was NEVER stopped or even decreased by appeasement. Nothing other than major cost of lives of terrorists has ever had any effect. Do it.
Releasing Arabs who have murdered Jews. The entire israeli government left and right are all corrupt. They all support atheistic democracy over Torah. They support Toeiva gay parades in Jerusalem last 18 years along with tattoo shops and chillul shabbos. There is no safety for Jews there. Hospitals are staffed by Arabs and so too restaurants,gvmnt offices etc
Instead of releasing these terrorists, they should be dismembered, detonated, and have their remains put in a pigs body, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean to be eating by marine life.
