Second week to kidnapping: Saturday scans and prayers

Reexamine Hamas
Following the abduction of boys Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrach will be tested anew the possibility of involvement of Hamas in previous attacks which occurred in the Judea and have not yet been deciphered. Some of the cases were previously considered cases of "hit single", i.e. people who committed a terrorist act against soldiers or settlers without the infrastructure that supported it. Among the cases that will be reviewed is found murdered Sgt Gal Koby in Hebron and murdered Chief Superintendent Baruch Mizrachi 35. "We need to examine all the other attacks were re-cut here," said the IDF website Yehuda deputy brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Simon Peretz. "Even if the attacks were indeed the outline of a lone terrorist, apparently infrastructure and mindset of Hamas in Hebron influenced terrorists who carried out the attacks."

Motivation to kidnap increased in recent times following the strike of administrative detainees in Israeli jails and environmental protests, led by members of Hamas in Hebron. According to an officer who is involved in, among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are expected to be released in transactions involving the release of prisoners in exchange for kidnapped Israeli. "It may be that the pressure of the prisoners, encouraging kidnappings, was a precipitating cause," he said. "This attack can be planned for a long time and the hunger strike was the trigger to execute."

Unlike Hamas in Gaza, which operates as semi - militarily, Hamas West Bank is under constant surveillance by security forces and required to act on invertebrates and small terrorist cells. Terrorist activities of Hamas in Judea and Samaria are often targeted by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which since Operation "pillar of cloud" infrastructure rehabilitation organization runs the West Bank. Despite the agreements to stop the fighting Pillar Cloud "Hamas pledged to keep the peace in Gaza, an organization seeking to preserve its position as a leader in the armed resistance against Israel, and does so through targeted activities in Judea and Samaria. Hamas Activists military wing in Gaza make contact with the organization in Judea and Samaria for the transfer of instructions and funds to carry out attacks - with emphasis on the abductions.

Directing the attacks of this type often include men liberated in the Shalit deal. "If active once lived in Hebron and Gaza released from prison, he has the option to fit where Hamas is in power," said the officer. "On the other hand, he knows that if he will run out of Gaza is risking a broad response to the IDF. Therefore has an interest to call his cousin who still lives in Hebron, transfer money and encourage him to carry out an attack. Proximity of the Settlements in West Bank Jewish settlements in the Palestinian makes it easier. "

Hamas in Judea and Samaria is an organization that runs a network - and hierarchical. Factors Central Command emphasize that following the reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah and increased unity government space activities of Hamas in Judea and Samaria, which was reflected in increasing political and propaganda activities of the organization. In addition, there was an increase rally in support of Hamas from the Palestinian population, and the first time in recent years Hamas flags were hung in the streets of Hebron. "Hamas enjoys reconciliation that Fatah has stopped political figures from the organization and prevent its propaganda," said the officer. "We have not seen an increase in terrorism organized following reconciliation, but there is not really a separation: when the political system and propaganda stronger, more people are recruited to traffic flowed more money, and in the end it comes to terror."

Activities focused on the civil Hamas da'wah "- institutions that provide support for the Palestinian population in the areas of religion, education and welfare. The main idea of da'wah "is that investing in education to Islamic values might benefit the organization in the long term, so by raising support for the organization and ideas and recruiting.

Although the population of Hebron is characterized by solidarity with Hamas, the townspeople do not show support for the boy's kidnapper because the attack may lead to adverse consequences for them. "The population is currently understand the situation and accuses both the kidnappers," said deputy brigade commander of Judea. "Citizens numbers Coordination and Liaison Administration kidnappers hurting the economy and the fabric of their lives."
