| [IsraelTimes] Officials say Muhammad Abu Zina worked to finance and arm PIJ operatives in northern West Bank after being freed from prison in August. And now he’ll go back to prison. I wonder if they kept his old cell for him? A prominent member of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... (PIJ) terror group in the northern West Bank was arrested by Israeli troops on Saturday morning, the military said. According to a joint statement by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security service, the suspect, Muhammad Abu Zina, was arrested during a daylight raid in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin. The statement said Zina, a resident of the Jenin refugee camp, was previously tossed in the slammer Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! in Israel over his activities in Islamic Jihad. He was released in August this year. "Immediately upon his release, Muhammad returned to [conducting] significant terror activity, in which he worked to finance and arm PIJ military infrastructure" in the northern West Bank, the IDF and Shin Bet said. The IDF said that during the operation conducted by troops of the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance battalion, Paleostinians hurled bombs and stones at soldiers. No Israeli troops were hurt in the operation, the army added. Abu Zina was transferred to the Shin Bet for further questioning. |
