The IDF spokesman on Tuesday morning 7 Cheshvan announced the arrest of senior Hamas terrorist Hassan Yousef in Bituniya, southwest of Ramallah. Hassan, who was born in 1975, is a resident of Ramallah and a senior official in the Hamas infrastructure in Yehuda and Shomron. He has been involved in intensive anti-Israel incitement and acts of terrorism. He has been imprisoned in Israel in the past a number of times.

During the Second Intifada Yousef was arrested with the assistance of his son Mosab who published the autobiography Son of Hamas and now lives in the United States. He has been actively instigating and inciting terrorism by publicly encouraging and praising the execution of attacks against Israelis.

“Hamas’ leaders cannot expect to propagate violence and terror from the comfort of their living-rooms and pulpits of their mosques.” Explains Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, IDF Spokesman, “You cannot encourage, promote and praise the death of the innocent. The IDF will act swiftly in order to contain the hateful incitement that jeopardizes the safety and well being of Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
