Islamic Jihad terror-operative arrested in a joint IDF and ISA operation
this afternoon at the Ein-Bidan crossing, east of Nablus.

In a joint IDF and ISA arrest operation this afternoon; forces arrested
Hamid Maged Muhamad Dragma, a wanted Jenin based Islamic Jihad
terror-operative.

Dragma, 25, resident of the village of Tubas, northeast of Nablus, received
80,000 NIS to his personal bank account, to be used by the Islamic Jihad.

After receiving legal approval and the approval of the management of the
bank, IDF forces entered the bank with Dragma, who withdrew the 80,000 NIS
intended for terrorist use, from his account.

The Islamic Jihad infrastructure in northern Samaria, the intended recipient
of these funds, is responsible for many deadly suicide bombings in recent
years, and continues to plan attacks against Israeli civilians.

Recently, terror organizations are increasingly making use of the bank
accounts of supposed innocents in order to transfer large sums of money from
the Islamic Jihad command in Syria to terrorist operatives.
