Shin Bet Disrupts West Bank Terror Cell with Ties to Lebanon, Preventing Planned Attacks
The Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, has successfully dismantled a terrorist cell operating in the West Bank, which was reportedly directed by operatives in Lebanon. The cell was in the advanced stages of planning an attack, with five suspects now arrested and indicted. The operation began in October when Mohammad Sadka, a resident of Anza in the northern West Bank, was detained on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. Investigations revealed that Sadka had been recruited in Lebanon by Musa Abu Saif, a member of a terror network, and tasked with recruiting additional members to form armed cells in the West Bank. Communication with Lebanese handlers was maintained through social media and gaming apps. A second cell was also uncovered, involving two residents of Tell in the northern West Bank, who were recruited by Mujahid Dahsha, a Lebanese operative. The recruits underwent firearms training and were instructed to photograph an Israeli community, with promises of funding for weapons.
