Israeli Shin Bet security service claimed on Sunday responsibility for the abduction of six alleged members of a Hamas resistance cell accused of planning and carrying out a bombing attack in Occupied Jerusalem last month.
On April 18, Abdul Hamid Abu Srour died after he boarded the number 12 public bus in Occupied Jerusalem and detonated an explosive device wounding a number of Israelis in the process.
The Shin Bet, Israeli occupation forces (IOF), and police launched an investigation to track down Abu Srour’s accomplices. Details of the case were placed under a court-approved gag order, which was removed Sunday morning.
The alleged Hamas cell was made up of six Palestinian men, all from the Bethlehem area, the Shin Bet said.
In addition to the April bus bombing, the Shin Bet claimed the cell had planned additional attacks, mostly car bombings and shootings. Muhammad Sami Abdul Hamid al-A’zza, a 28-year-old resident of Beit Sahour near Bethlehem, had allegedly crafted the explosive device used by Abu Srour in the Jerusalem bus bombing, the Shin Bet said.
Another suspect was identified as 28-year-old Muhammad Issa al-Barbari. Ahmad Muhammad al-Mashaiekh, a 19-year-old from the al-Ayda refugee camp, has also been accused of driving the resistance fighter to Occupied Jerusalem.
The IOF also picked up Ali Ahmad al-A’rouj and Sai’d Usama Hermas, who were found to be involved, though to a lesser extent in the attack, according to the Shin Bet. The Shin Bet’s findings have been handed over to a military court and in the coming days the members of the alleged anti-occupation cell will be indicted.
