DESPITE TERROR WAVE, GOV. TO FREE TERRORISTS

Despite the recent wave of terror attacks since last Friday, the Israeli government intends to go ahead with a third batch of terrorist releases early next week, as part of “gestures” to the peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Reports indicate the government will similarly start a new Judea and Samaria building freeze next week as well.

The looming release of 26 terrorists, on either Sunday or Monday, is the third of four installments in which 104 terrorists were promised to go free during the 9 month peace talks.  Arutz 7 News 12/25/13  NOTE:  PM Netanyahu just announced the start of construction on several thousand apartments (homes) in YESHA – West Bank)

REPORT: HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS ROAM THE WORLD ON FOREIGN PASSPORTS

report in a Kuwaiti newspaper Thursday said that Hezbollah terrorists are traveling the world freely, seeking opportunities to carry out terror attacks against Israelis and Jews – using passports issued in Australia, Canada, and a variety of European countries.

Quoting a Western intelligence source, the report said that Hezbollah has already used these passports to try and carry out terror attacks in places like Azerbaijan, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, and Greece. The attacks came as Hezbollah sought revenge on Israel for the elimination of top terrorist Imad Mughniya in 2008. The attempted attack in Azerbaijan, for example, came just months after Mughniya’s elimination, the report said.

The source said that Hezbollah has also attempted to carry out attacks in places like Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam, and even “abroad,” which the report took to mean North or South America. In many of these cases, the attack is assigned to Lebanese dual citizens residing in the many European countries that allow dual citizenship.  Arutz 7 News 12/26/13

NEW PALESTINIAN TERROR WEAPON

The Palestinians are using a new weapon in their current campaign of terror against Israel. It is the Austrian single-shot Steyr 50 caliber sniper rifle which has an effective accurate range of up to 1,500 m. debkafile’s counter-terror sources report that Palestinian terrorist planners intend to expand its use in the hands of highly-trained marksmen to keep pace with deliveries by Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hizballah of the Iranian-made version of this assassin’s weapon to the Gaza Strip.  DEBKAfile Report 12/26/13
