A Hamas explosives expert entered Israel on a medical permit in order to set up a bomb-making lab in Judea and Samaria.
Fadi Abu al-Sabah, 35, was arrested in the Arab city of Taibeh in central Israel in May, the Israel Security Agency announced in a statement on Wednesday.
He was recruited into the Hamas military wing in July 2018, to establish a lab for the production of explosives to be used in terrorist attacks designed to kill Israelis, according to the agency, also known as the Shin Bet. He was trained to manufacture the explosives and how to successfully pass the questioning at Erez Crossing in order to enter Israel.
Prior to entering Israel in May, Sabah contacted a doctor in Gaza and paid her to prepare false documents showing that he could not receive proper treatment in the Gaza Strip. Hamas was interested in Sabah, who has a prosthetic limb, because he was in the process of applying for a humanitarian permit to receive medical treatment in Judea and Samaria.
Before crossing back into Israel, Sabah did enter Judea and Samaria, but without a coat in which, according to the statement, was hidden written Hamas code words for use in planning terrorist attacks against Israeli targets.

“He was trained ... how to successfully pass the questioning at Erez Crossing in order to enter Israel.”
Looks like they need to upgrade their questioning techniques.
No argument there.
No, they have excellent questioning techniques, and the best intelligence system in the world. Just because he “passed” the initial questioning and gained entrance into the country, doesn’t mean that he wasn’t a suspect or wasn’t tracked. The key phrase is that “he was arrested.” And all of his contacts/methods/techniques are now known.
On one of my trips to Israel we had a Pakistani Christian missionary go with us. He was born into a muslim family in Pakistan, but is now an American citizen and spends 6 months each year back in Pakistan running a Christian church/orphanage, which puts him in constant danger when he is there. At the departure gate we were all asked a few polite questions about why we were going to Israel, but he was taken into a private room where he was questioned more thoroughly and everything was removed from all of his luggage and examined very carefully.
-——trained to manufacture the explosives——
Interesting. Was he to manufacture explosives or explosive devices?
