The military says it arrested Hassan Yousef on Tuesday near Ramallah. It marks the most high-profile arrest since a wave of unrest swept through the region a month ago.
The military said Yousef had been “actively instigating and inciting terrorism” by encouraging attacks against Israelis. Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says, “Hamas’ leaders cannot expect to propagate violence and terror from the comfort of their living rooms and pulpits of their mosques.”
Yousef is a co-founder of Hamas whose son, Mosab, later spied for Israel between 1997 and 2007.
Why the hypocrisy on Israel’s part???Bibi has accused abbass Ys”v of incitement as well! Why isn’t he arresting THAT “leader?!”
Now get abu mazen for the same thing.It was his speeches that. started this round of killings
Do you see how fancy he lives while most of his ”brothers” live in poverty
Look how gently and respectfully the IDF take in this high profile terrorist. They don’t even handcuff him! Israel is the most humane nation in the world. מי כעמך ישראל !
How the Israelis released him on the first place is beyond me. This guys hands are soaked in Jewish blood.
Why is he still in pajamas? He should have already finished his morning prayer? Bad boys , bad boys, watcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you………

A well placed missile would have been MUCH better.
