[IsraelTimes] Security agency says members of the network, linked to Hamas and Hezbollah, were told to photograph Israeli settlement, underwent firearms training to prepare for planned attack
The Shin Bet security agency said on Tuesday that it had foiled a West Bank-based terror network that was being directed by figures in Leb

and Hezbollah.
According to the agency, the network was tasked with photographing an Israeli settlement, and its members underwent firearms training in preparation for carrying out an attack.
Five Paleostinians from the West Bank were indicted in the affair.
In October 2025, the Shin Bet said, a Paleostinian from the West Bank village of Anza, Mohammad Sadka, was detained on suspicion of planning a terror attack.
The Shin Bet said its interrogation of Sadka revealed that he had traveled to Lebanon, where he was recruited by a Lebanese man, Musa Abu Saif, also known as Jibril, for the purpose of recruiting others for the terror network.
After returning to the West Bank from Lebanon, via Jordan, Sadka "recruited additional operatives to carry out attacks, including Mohammad Khalil, a resident of Ramallah, and Mohammad Barahmeh, a resident of Anza, who were also arrested for Shin Bet questioning," the agency said.
The Shin Bet said Sadka remained in contact with figures in Lebanon "through correspondence on social networks and via gaming applications."
At the same time, the Shin Bet said, another terror cell being managed by the same Lebanese figures was also uncovered, and two Paleostinians from the village of Tell, Dia a-Din Hamad and Nasser Asida, were arrested.
The agency said its interrogation revealed that those two Paleostinians were recruited by a Lebanese terror operative going by the name of Mujahid, alongside other Lebanese figures calling themselves Abu Ahmad and Abu Wahid. The Lebanese figures would maintain contact with the Paleostinians on social media, it said.
"As part of their recruitment, the two carried out firearms training in preparation for carrying out an attack, were asked to photograph a community in Samaria [the northern West Bank], and arrangements were made with them for the transfer of funds for the purchase of weapons," the security agency said.
The Shin Bet said that it emerged from its investigations and intelligence-gathering operations that the head of the framework in Lebanon that worked to recruit the two terror cells is Mujahid Dahsha, "a resident of Lebanon with ties to Hamas and Hezbollah operatives."

war.
More than 1,000 Paleostinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers since the war started, according to the Paleostinia Authority health ministry. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or holy warriors carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 65 civilians and Israeli security personnel have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities during raids in Paleostinian cities in the West Bank.
The same period has also seen a major surge in attacks by murderous Moslem settlers on Paleostinians and their property across the West Bank. The IDF recorded 867 incidents of nationalistic crime and settler violence in 2025. The total for 2024 was 682 incidents.
Misery deepens in West Bank amid dearth of permits to work in Israel
| One feels for them, truly. But perhaps instead of feeling sorry for themselves they should blame their overenthusiastic Palestinian brothers in both the West Bank and Gaza, who made it impossible for Israel to trust them to resist the hard jihad of the sword. |
[IsraelTimes] Some 100,000 people whose permits were revoked after Oct. 7 Hamas attack face dwindling and dangerous options as economic crisis in territory worsens. Israel has since reinstated fewer than 10,000, according to Gisha, an Israeli group advocating for Palestinian freedom of movement.
Israel, which has controlled the West Bank for nearly six decades, says it is under no obligation to allow Palestinians to enter for work and makes such decisions based on security considerations. Thousands of Palestinians are still allowed to work in scores of Jewish settlements across the West Bank.
The World Bank has warned that the West Bank economy is at risk of collapse because of Israel’s restrictions. By the end of last year, unemployment had surged to nearly 30 percent compared with around 12% before the war, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics.
Wages earned in Israel injected some $4 billion into the Palestinian economy in 2022, according to the Institute for National Security Studies, an Israeli think tank. That’s equivalent to about two-thirds of the Palestinian Authority’s budget that year.
