More proof substantiating the problem with the family reunification program, which allows Palestinians to gain access to Israeli ID cards by marrying Israeli Arabs.
A 15-year old Palestinian was apprehended Tuesday on his way to executing a suicide bombing, Army sources – quoted on Israel Radio – disclosed Thursday evening. Three other Palestinians from the village Yamun in the Jenin region were also apprehended for having planned the attack and assisting to transport the 7 KG suicide belt.
One of the three, Za'el Adel Hara, was apprehended in Dir Hanna in the Galilee on Tuesday, and he admitted to having transported the device hidden in a sack of flour. He told interrogators that the belt had already been given to the youth, who received NIS 1,000 in order to commit suicide.
He said that the hidden suicide belt had been transported along with other household items of his by a Palestinian who is an Israeli resident in possession of an Israeli ID card.
The Palestinian who transported the goods received his ID card as part of the Israeli family unification program. He received NIS 2,000 from Adel Hara to transport the goods from Yamun southwards to Jerusalem, and from there – along Israeli roads – to the Merar region in the Galilee. There, he and his family waited in a tent along with his family amidst a group of illegal Palestinian workers.
