Shin Bet Thwarts PIJ Attempt to Establish Terror Infrastructure in Yehudah and Shomron
The Shin Bet said Monday that it has foiled an attempt by the Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group to enlist residents of Yehudah and Shomron to commit attacks against Israeli targets.
The Shin Bet said that several Palestinians from the Jenin area — including Yasmin Shaaban, a 40-year-old mother of four — were detained for planning a bombing attack against farmers in the area.
It accused Islamic Jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip of directing the cell to build explosive devices to use in an attack.
Shaaban is accused of passing information between Islamic Jihad members in Gaza and members of the cell in Yehudah and Shomron. Her interrogation led to the arrest of seven others allegedly part of the cell, the Shin Bet said.
Footage released by the Shin Bet shows the members testing an explosive device, shaped similar to a rocket.
