Senior West Bank Hamas official to be charged with incitement, supporting terror

2022-01-03

[IsraelTimes] Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, co-founder Hassan Yusef has spent years in and out of Israeli jail, mostly under administrative detention; indictment comes as tensions rise between Israel, Hamas

Hamas co-founder Hassan Yusef will be charged in the coming days in an Israeli military court for incitement to terror and supporting a terror group, Israel Police said in a statement on Sunday.

Yusef, a senior figure in Hamas’s West Bank division, is seen as a relative moderate in the terror group’s apparatus. Since helping found the Hamas terror movement in the 1980s, Yusef has been arrested numerous times and spent years in Israeli prisons, much of it in administrative detention.

Israeli forces arrested Yusef in mid-December, one of dozens of Paleostinians picked up in operations following a wave of terror attacks. In the announcement on Sunday, police tied Yusef’s arrest to a speech he gave following an attack by a Hamas member in Jerusalem’s Old City.

In mid-December, Hamas member Fadi Abu Shkhaydam opened fire on passersby near the Old City’s Chain Gate, killing an Israeli civilian, Eli Kay, before being rubbed out. Yusef arrived at the Shkhaydam family’s mourning tent later to give a fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
speech.

"The suspect arrived at the mourning tent of the terrorist’s family who carried out the shooting attack, where he praised the terrorist’s actions and even conveyed the condolences of the Hamas movement to his family," Israel Police said in a statement.

It was not clear what investigation police actually conducted over the past few weeks to clarify Yusef’s crimes, as he is an avowed member of the terror group who regularly speaks publicly on its behalf, including to The Times of Israel. The speech referenced by police was streamed on Facebook.

"We will march forward, and there is no force in this land that can break our will," Yusef said, telling Abu Shkhaydam’s family that he was there as the representative of Hamas’s leadership.

Hamas claims that Yusef is only active in its political wing, not its military wing, and has no direct involvement in terror operations. Both branches of the terror group avowedly seek to destroy Israel.

Hamas West Bank leader said freed from detention after 16 months

2020-07-25

[IsraelTimes] Hassan Yusef, co-founder of terror group and father to ’Son of Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,,’ said released without trial after arrest last year at Ramallah home.

Israel on Thursday freed a big shot of Hamas in the West Bank after imprisoning him without trial for 16 months, his son said.

-based terror group, was arrested on April 2 last year at his home near Ramallah.

"He is now at home and is in good health," his son Owais Yusef told AFP.

Following his arrest, Yusef was handed a six-month detention order that was extended for another six months and then for a further four, his son said. The 65-year-old, who has been arrested multiple times, had been released from a previous 10-month term of imprisonment in October 2018.

Israel’s administrative detention system allows the internment of prisoners for renewable periods of up to six months each, without bringing charges. Israel says the procedure allows authorities to hold suspects and prevent attacks while continuing to gather evidence, but critics and rights groups say the system is abused.

Around 350 Paleostinians were being held under administrative detention orders at the end of May, the latest data currently available, according to Israeli human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
organization B’Tselem.

The group said the evidence against detainees was not disclosed.

A member of the now-defunct Paleostinian parliament, Hassan Yusef is estranged from his eldest son, Mosab Hassan Yusef, who for 10 years spied against Hamas and for Israel.

From 1997 to 2007, Mosab Hassan Yusef worked for Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency, before relocating to the United States, where he lives under a new identity.

Israeli jails Hamas West Bank leader for six months without trial

2019-04-09

[PRESSTV] Israel has given the co-founder of Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, resistance movement a six-month detention order without trial.

The 64-year-old, Hassan Yusef, who is also a member of the Paleostinian parliament, was given the administrative detention order Monday.

Yusef’s family condemned the Israeli decision.

"We condemn this decision. He suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure," his son Owais said.

According to the Paleostinian Prisoners' Club, Yusef was enjugged
Please don't kill me!
at his home in Beitunia near the West Bank city of Ramallah on April 2.

On April 2, Hamas condemned the arrest, calling him "one of the advocates of national unity supporting the resistance project."

"Sheikh Yusef will remain a torch for joint national action and a free voice for the people of Paleostine, who have not known peace and quiet under the most difficult circumstances," the statement read.

The Times of Israel points out:

Yousef had been released from a previous imprisonment in October 2018.

IDF Arrests Hamas Operative Sheikh Hassan Yousef

2019-04-02

[Jpost] The IDF has tossed in the slammer
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
a senior Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", operative in the West Bank, Sheikh Hassan Yusef, according to reports confirmed Tuesday.

The sheikh was arrested in his home in Ramallah.

Yusef was arrested before for inciting Paleostinians to commit acts of terrorism.

His son, Musab Yousif, helped the Shin Bet thwart attacks against Israelis from 1997 to 2007. Hassan renounced his relationship Musab in 2010.

Musab has since moved the United States, converted to Christianity, and wrote a book about his experience serving as an agent for the Shin Bet titled Son of Hamas.

Senior Hamas leader among dozens arrested overnight in West Bank

2017-12-14

[IsraelTimes] Sheik Hassan Yusef detained on suspicion of 'promoting' the terror group's activities amid spike in violence, Shin Bet says

Israeli troops, in raids across the West Bank overnight Tuesday, locked away
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
32 Paleostinians for suspected involvement in terror activities and violent rioting, as well as a senior Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", figure, security forces said.

Sheikh Hassan Yusef, a Hamas leader in the West Bank and one of the group’s founding members, was arrested in Ramallah, the Shin Bet security service said.

He is suspected of "involvement in promoting and advancing Hamas’s activities in the West Bank," it confirmed in a statement after Paleostinian media broke news of the arrest.

Yusef was recently released from administrative detention, and has been arrested many times in recent years. Earlier this week, he called for a violent response to US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Since Trump announced his decision last Wednesday, the West Bank has seen daily protests that have at time devolved into festivities.

Alongside the festivities in the West Bank, recent days have seen an escalation in violence around Gazoo, where Yusef’s Hamas group holds sway.

In the latest in a series of tit-for-tat exchanges, the Israeli Air Force early Wednesday morning struck a Hamas facility in the southern Gazoo Strip in retaliation for Paleostinian rocket fire hours earlier.

During the overnight raids, IDF medics treated an elderly Paleostinian woman who had a heart attack in the village of al-Zubeidat, near Jericho, but eventually pronounced her dead after their efforts failed.

The IDF denied implications made by Paleostinian media that the woman’s heart attack was triggered by stun grenades thrown by Israeli troops after residents threw rocks at them. An army official said the two incidents were unrelated, happening at significantly different times during the night.

An Nahar adds:

"In response to the projectile fired from the Gazoo Strip at Israel earlier, the Israel air force targeted a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", military compound in the southern Gazoo Strip," the army said on Wednesday.

Gazoo security officials said that aircraft hit a Hamas naval base west of the city of Khan Yunis and open land nearby.

Three Paleostinians were lightly maimed in the strikes, the health ministry in Gazoo said. No casualties were reported on the Israeli side.

one of the top West Bank leaders of the Paleostinian resistance movement, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, in a raid near Ramallah overnight on Monday.

"During the night, forces of the army and the Shin Bet (internal security service) arrested Hassan Yusef, a Hamas leader, in Beitunia, southwest of Ramallah," an occupation army statement said on Tuesday.

Yusef's arrest was confirmed by the Paleostinian security services.

"Yusef has been arrested and imprisoned several times in the past," the statement added.

Yusef, who was a founding member of Hamas in the late 1980s, has spent years in Israeli jails. He was elected to the Paleostinian parliament from prison in 2006 and was only released from his last stint in jail in June.

Yusef made headlines during the second Paleostinian intifada, or uprising, of 2000-2005 when he renounced his son after he admitted to informing for the Shin Bet under the codename Green Prince.

Palestinians call for revenge as second Duma victim dies

2015-08-09

[JPOST] The Paleostinian Authority pledged to pursue Israel diplomatically and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, called for a violent response to the death Saturday of Sa'ad Dawabsha, from burns he sustained in the terrorist attack on his home in the West Bank village of Duma on July 31.

Sa'ad, 31, is the second victim of the attack, which also claimed the life of his son, 18-month-old Ali, a toddler who was burned alive in his crib when the house was torched before dawn, allegedly by Jewish terrorists.

Hundreds of mourners filled the roads of Duma on Saturday during Sa'ad's funeral. Once the procession was over, Paleostinians burned tires on the road leading into the village, prompting the army to close it temporarily, according to the IDF. Following the funeral, several dozen Paleostinians threw rocks at IDF soldiers.

The soldiers did not respond.

The PA government renewed its call seeking international protection for Paleostinians in the face of recurring settler attacks. PA Foreign Minister Riad Malki said on Saturday the "heinous crime" against the Dawabsha family would not go unpunished.

The Times of Israel adds:

Fatah and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, flags flew at the funeral. Israeli security officials said Hamas was pushing hard for an intensification of terror attacks on Israeli targets in the West Bank and inside Israel. Israel's Channel 2 quoted West Bank Hamas leader Hassan Yusef declaring Saturday that the time had come for "a third Intifada." The TV report said Saad Dawabsha was a Hamas supporter.

Israel has boosted its military deployment in the West Bank since the Molotov cocktailing attack. In the wake of Saad's funeral Saturday, dozens of Paleostinians threw stones at IDF soldiers and lit tires on fire near Duma. Military forces responded with riot-dispersal means. Forces remained on alert for further festivities.

Hamas Defector Slams 'Death Worship'

2014-07-29

[IsraelTimes] A high-profile Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, critic, and son of one the group's leaders, struck out at the terrorist group for its "worship of death" and its plans to establish a global caliphate, in a recent interview.

Mosab Hassan Yusef, a Hamas defector who worked for 10 years as an informer for the Shin Bet, explained to CNN last week that, for Gazoo's rulers, human life is of no consequence.

"Hamas does not care about the lives of Paleostinians, or the lives of Israelis, or Americans; they don't care about their own lives," Yusef said. "They consider dying for their ideology a way of worship.

"Hamas is not seeking coexistence and compromise; Hamas is seeking conquest," he added. "The destruction of the state of Israel is not the Hamas final destination."

Hamas, Yusef asserted, wants to build an Islamic state "on the rubble of every other civilization."

Yusef, who converted to Christianity and was disowned by his father, West Bank Hamas leader Hassan Yusef, recalled that the extreme indoctrination is preached in mosques at young children.

"In the mosques, Hamas told us that without shedding innocent blood for the sake of the ideology we will not be able to build an Islamic state," he said. "At five-years-old, that is what they were feeding us."

Yusef gained fame by going public about his experiences in a book, and more recently a film, "The Green Prince."

Israel has claimed that Hamas is using Gazoo civilians as human shields to protect its military infrastructure during the ongoing Operation Protective Edge aimed at stemming rocket fire from Gazoo at Israeli cities and destroying cross-border tunnels used to launch terror attacks.

IDF Preparing For Siege Of Hebron

2014-06-17

[Ynet] Forces load concrete barricades loaded trucks, spread out bulldozers, prepares to impose closure on one of the largest cities in the West Bank

The IDF is making preparations for the siege of Hebron, as part of a massive manhunt led following the kidnapping of three Israeli teens who disappeared while hitchhiking in the West Bank on Thursday night.

IDF forces have loaded concrete barricades on trucks and spread out bulldozers in the city. In addition, Paleostinian sources reported Sunday that all the main entrances to the city were blocked by the IDF with concrete blocks.

A Paleostinian source told Ynet earlier Sunday that the IDF has set up a large number of roadblocks around Hebron. According to the same source, IDF forces are not allowing entry or exit to or from the city.

A senior General Staff source said on Sunday that in terms of professionalism, the kidnapping is of the highest level. According to him, the IDF estimate that the abductees were not transferred to the Gazoo Strip or to Sinai, "but we are prepared for that option." He added that "we are employing all the special units and means to locate them.

"We practiced scenarios of such kidnapping attacks in recent months, including six weeks ago in Ariel, together with the police. We also drew conclusions from the murder of IDF soldier Tomer Hazan.

The same source did not directly criticize the police, that did not begin searching for the teens or inform the IDF of the kidnapping possibility when it first received such information, shortly after 10 pm on Thursday night; however, between the lines, such criticism can be detected. "We in the IDF became aware of the missing boys in the early hours of Friday, and as soon as we receive such information we treat it seriously and work quickly to rule out the possibility of an innocent absence."

"We immediately realized that it was serious and hurried to activate the relevant systems. Whoever needs to investigate his moves should do so. It should be understood that the area in which these (teens) are missing is Judea and Samaria, and accordingly not use the 12-hour-wait procedure," the senior source said.

The senior source further added that "the legitimacy within the Paleostinian public and the motivation of terrorist organization to conduct kidnapping attacks is high. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, is in a difficult position in Judea and Samaria and is struggling to launch attacks.

"Were it able to, it would have launched dozens of suicide kabooms, kidnappings, and shooting attacks in Israel. It is at a rough condition and under pressure from intelligence. We haven't seen foot dragging of the Paleostinian Authority towards Hamas, ahead of this incident. They don't work for us, but we identify common interests."

He added that: "I don't see any connection between the comprehensive processes of terror and the Fatah-Hamas unity government, and I don't identify any attempts by murderous Moslem Jewish activists to act now. Concrete appeals have been made to the communities about the threat of abductions, in recent months as well, and this attack has the potential of creating an escalation."

Israel has reportedly enlisted the aid of Egypt in the search for the three missing Israeli teens -- Eyal Yifrah, Gil-Ad Shaer, and Naftali Frenkel -- that have been missing since Thursday evening, Egyptian newspaper Ash-Shuruk reported Sunday morning.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that "Hamas people" are those who carried out the kidnapping of the Israeli three teens on Thursday evening. "This has severe repercussions," Netanyahu clarified.

"Those who perpetrated the abduction of our youths were members of Hamas -- the same Hamas that Abu Mazen (Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
) made a unity government with; this has severe repercussions."

Hamas denied the accusations made by Prime Minister Netanyahu that it was behind the abduction of the three Israeli teenagers.

Sami Abu Zohari, the Hamas front man in the Gazoo Strip, termed Netanyahu's statements as "foolish". He noted that while the arrests carried out by IDF troops of Hamas people intend to break them, Israel will not succeed in doing so.

Terror-accused Swedes' US extradition 'a failure'

2013-01-09

[THELOCAL.SE] The two Swedes were locked away
Please don't kill me!
in Djibouti in August after having left a terrorist training camp in Somalia run by al-Shabaab
... the personification of Somali state failure...
, a United States-designated terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda.

The Swedish foreign ministry launched negotiations with authorities in Djibouti for the two Swedish nationals, both of Somali origin, to travel back to Sweden.

But before negotiations were concluded, the two men were taken to the United States to face charges of participating in weapons and explosives training with al-Shabaab during a four-year period beginning in 2008.

"If you can say that we proposed to have them come to Sweden and that they didn't come to Sweden, I guess you could call that a failure," foreign ministry front man Anders Jörle told Sveriges Radio (SR).

Meanwhile,
...back at the mall, Clarissa suddenly spied Mr. Bartlett at the checkout counter. He was buying Grecian Formula!...
relatives of one of the men have suggested that the Swedish foreign ministry may have been complicit in the still mysterious process that resulted in the two men, aged 27 and 29, awaiting trial in the United States.

The brother of the 27-year-old said his brother told him that American agents who interrogated the Swede said they were awaiting approval from the Swedish foreign ministry before extraditing him to the United States.

Jörle has said that the Swedish foreign ministry was not involved in the process, but was unable to confirm or deny whether or not Sweden may have given its approval to the extradition.

"I don't have any knowledge of that," he told SR.

According to family members, the two Swedes had initially travelled to Somalia to join al-Shabaab, but had later regretted the move and were attempting to leave the group.

While the news came as a relief to family members, they became increasingly concerned for the pair's safety.

"He said that he was very scared and had seen people be executed," Hassan Yusef, brother of the 29-year-old, told SR.

The 29-year-old's lawyer has previously said that the defendants have not committed any crimes against the US.

"American authorities believe that al-Shabaab, which has been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, propagates its activities on the internet and therefore 'affects American foreign trade'. In that case more or less anything falls within American jurisdiction," lawyer Ephraim Savitt told the TT news agency in December.

The men appeared in court in New York together with a 23-year-old Briton. They were aided by a Swedish interpreter.

If found guilty, they could face up to 30 years in prison.

Islam is 'a religion of war,' says son of Hamas founder on a visit to his 'beloved Israel'

2012-06-22

Mosab Hassan Yusef has a knack for controversy. The son of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, founder Sheikh Hassan Yusef, he has already broken every taboo in the Paleostinian book. He has worked for Israeli intelligence and converted to Christianity. Now he is developing a new film which is sure to be no less sensational: a biography of the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.

Yusef, 33, broke ranks with Hamas in 1997 and began working for the Israeli internal intelligence service Shin Bet. Ten years later, after helping Israel thwart dozens of terror attacks and arrest many members of his former movement, Yusef left for the United States where he sought political asylum and later converted to Christianity.

Today, he says, he is back in Israel for the first time on a personal visit to inspire a new generation of Paleostinians.

I love Israel because I love democracy, Yusef told journalists in Jerusalem

I love Israel because I love democracy, he told journalists in Jerusalem Tuesday. I am here to protest religions absolute control of peoples lives.

Standing next to his retired Shin Bet handler, Gonen Ben-Itzhak, Yusef refused to answer questions in Arabic. He said he was on a mission to educate the public about the true nature of his former religion.

Islam is not a religion of peace. Its a religion of war, he said. Moslems dont even know the true nature of their own religion.

He saved many lives and stopped many attacks, Ben-Itzhak says. I think that we, as Israelis, must show our gratitude to people like him

To that end, Yusef decided to produce a film about the touchiest subject of all: the revered prophet of Islam, Muhammad. He says the film is based on a traditional biography of Muhammad written by the eighth-century Moslem historian Ibn Ishaq.

He said the film is unique in that it will be produced by Moslems, or people of Moslem background, unlike recent European attempts to tackle the complex historiography of Muhammad. With a written screenplay, guaranteed funding, and a celebrity actor (whose name he would not divulge) in the lead role as Muhammad, Yusef said he hoped filming will commence next year.

Muhammad is still untouchable, Yusef said, noting that controversial as it was, Mel Gibsons 2004 film The Passion of Christ touched many people worldwide.

Another film, expected to be produced before Muhammad, is a cinematic adaptation of Yusefs 2010 autobiography Son of Hamas, in which he recounts the tale of his cooperation with Israeli intelligence. Yusef said the book was already translated into 25 languages and is available for free download in Arabic on his personal website.

When asked what he would tell his father if he were in the room, Yusef said only: Leave Hamas. You have created a monster.

Gonen Ben-Itzhak, Yusefs handler who appears in the book under his operational pseudonym Captain Luay, said he considers Yusef his brother and has become his close friend after their professional paths parted in 2004.

He saved many lives and stopped many attacks, Ben-Itzhak told The Times of Israel. I think that we, as Israelis, must show our gratitude to people like him. Even while working for us he was always against bloodshed, on both sides.

Ben-Itzhak noted that Israeli officials voiced their concern about Yusefs arrival in Israel as his life is still under threat, but added that Yusef was allowed into the country with neither visa nor passport.

His story is very unusual, Ben-Itzhak added. I cant recall the last time an asset came out like this.
