Following the killing in Jerusalem of Eliyahu Kay by a Hamas member linked to Turkey, and following the exposure of a West Bank Hamas cell led by the Hamas Turkey office, Jerusalem is calling on Ankara to shut down the group’s activities in the country.
Israeli security forces arrested more than 50 members of a Hamas terror cell in recent weeks who they say were involved in planning attacks on Israelis.
The ISA investigations led to operations during which considerable ordnance was seized from the infrastructure, including sufficient explosive material to make three to four explosive belts.
