Pardoned Fatah militant detained for planning terror attacks

By Avi Issacharof, Yuval Azoulay and Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondents

Border Police special forces Sunday arrested a Fatah militant that had been pardoned by Israel some two months ago, on suspicion that he had resumed militant activity.

Fares Mansour, a member Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, was found in possession of explosives and weapons. He was one of around 180 Fatah militants granted amnesty by Israel two months ago in a deal with the Palestinian Authority.

Mansour, like all prisoners pardoned in the July deal, had signed an affidavit renouncing terror acts, however he was suspected of involvement in shooting attacks on Israel Defense Forces troops. Explosives, a rifle and a handgun were found in his home.

Three Palestinian militants were arrested Sunday after trying to snatch weapons from IDF troops in Hebron. An IDF spokesperson said the militants attempted to stun the troops with an electric cattle prod. The three are currently under investigation.

On Saturday, militants fired at an Israeli hitchhiker from a moving car on Road 60 in Israel's South. The hitchhiker was not injured in the shooting, and the IDF began searching the area for the perpetrators.

During the search operation, troops entered a home where one of the militants, a Hamas chief in Nablus, was hiding under a bed upon which a pregnant woman was sitting, saying she did not feel well.

The troops looked under the bed and found the militant.

On Sunday evening, a Qassam rocket hit the western Negev. No damage was reported.
