‘PA helped Israel assassinate Jarar’

The Al-Qassam Brigades yesterday accused the Palestinian Authority of providing Israeli occupation forces with information that helped them identify and assassinate the man responsible for killing a settler last month.

Cooperation between the occupation and the Palestinian Authority began soon after the settler was killed, Al-Qassam said in a statement on its website. Efforts were made to identify the perpetrators of the operation, adding that the Palestinian Authority gave Israel “a lead” that helped track down and kill Ahmad Jarrar, a Hamas member who Israel accuses of leading the cell that killed Rabbi Raziel Shevach near Nablus last month.

Jarrar escaped several times despite the intensive Israeli campaign to capture him.
