PA reveals Hamas has ordered suicide bombings
- 8 years ago
A senior Palestinian Authority source on Friday revealed to Israeli media that Hamas is changing its tactics in Judea and Samaria, and has given new orders to launch suicide bombings against Jewish targets.
According to the source, information extracted in investigation from Hamas activists recently arrested in Judea and Samaria by PA Security Forces led to the conclusion that senior Hamas officials in Gaza and abroad have given new orders to Hamas terrorists in the region.
Indications that Hamas is planning suicide bombings have been on the rise of late - a radio station in the Hevron region that is a Hamas stronghold late last month was shuttered by the IDF after playing songs explicitly calling for suicide bombings .
Hamas calls for suicide bombings are not new, as the group back in August - before the current terror wave - likewise demanded suicide attacks.
However, Hamas is not alone in such calls - the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades terrorist organization of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction called for suicide bombings in late October, saying such attacks are "the top of our priorities."
