Israeli occupation arrests a "cell" allegedly affiliated with Hamas from Birzeit University students

  1. Today, Sunday, the Israeli General Security Agency (Shin Bet) arrested a cell of students from Birzeit University near Ramallah.

  2. The Shin Bet security service claimed that the cell planned to carry out an operation, under the direction of the Hamas movement, which it claims is based in Turkey.

  3. The statement said: “The Shin Bet investigation with the suspects revealed that the cell members made practical preparations to carry out a major attack in addition to a series of operations to transfer Hamas funds to activists in the field, all under the supervision of senior officials at Hamas headquarters in Turkey.”
