Hamas accuses PA of collaborating with Israel after arrest of Hamas terror cell that killed Israeli couple
Headline: "Hamas: 'The cell from Nablus is not the first, and also will not be the last"
"Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri stated on Monday evening [Oct. 5, 2015]: 'The occupation's announcement of the arrest of the cell from Nablus is an honor to our people and its resistance.' He emphasized that 'This is not the first cell, and it also will not be the last, as the journey of resistance continues, Allah willing'… It will be noted that the Zionist occupation forces publicized information on Oct. 10 [2015], in which they claimed that they exposed the members of the cell that carried out the heroic operation next to the Itamar settlement last weekend, and that they are all Hamas activists… Information publicized in the Hebrew media pointed to the possibility that the intensive, unceasing coordination between the PA's security establishment and the occupation forces had a central part in exposing this cell. Abu Zuhri said that the occupation's statement, according to which there was security coordination with the PA in the arrest of the cell in Nablus, is a 'grave notice.' He said that 'We hope it is deceitful,' and demanded of the PA to clarify its position regarding these statements.
The Henkin murders - Israelis Naama and Eitam Henkin (also an American citizen) were murdered in a shooting attack on Oct. 1, 2015, on the road between Itamar and Elon Moreh in the West Bank. Their four children, aged 9, 7, 4, and 4 months, were also in the car and witnessed the murders, but were not physically injured.
Five suspects in the murder, members of a Hamas terrorist cell, were arrested by Israel and confessed to the murders. The leader of the group, Ragheb Ahmad Muhammad Aliwi, has served time in an Israeli prison for security related crimes.
