Israel's military and domestic intelligence service exposed Sunday a network of Hamas operatives operating from Turkey that directed dozens of planned attacks in Judea and Samaria over the past year. The IDF and Shin Bet named five senior Hamas figures — Ayman Sharawneh, Muhammad Mallah, Majed Ja'ba, Waleed Abu Nassar, and Salam Ya'ish — as key operatives in the terror infrastructure based on Turkish soil.
The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed on Sunday that they have foiled dozens of terror attacks in Judea and Samaria over the past year, which were directed by senior Hamas operatives operating from Turkey. The exposed network, run by Hamas's 'West Bank Headquarters,' recruited operatives, transferred funds and weapons, and coordinated attacks against Israeli targets, according to the military. The IDF named five key operatives — Ayman Sharawneh, Muhammad Mallah, Majed Ja'ba, Waleed Abu Nassar, and Salam Ya'ish — as central figures in the infrastructure. No immediate comment was available from Turkish authorities. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the announcement comes amid heightened Israeli focus on Hamas activity abroad. The scope of the foiled plots and the exact timeline of the operation remain under a security gag order.
