Surprise: Terrorist for money - Israel nails seminary butcher
The Israel Defense Forces today killed the man suspected of planning last week’s Jerusalem shooting massacre in which eight yeshiva students were murdered, security sources said.
He received financing from Hezbollah to plan last week’s Jerusalem attack, according to senior security sources.
According to Palestinian security officials familiar with Shehadi, after losing the 2006 election as a Fatah leader, Shehadi worked for about six months for the Islamic Jihad terror group but then switched back to Fatah.
“He would go wherever the money was,” said a Palestinian security official. “He thought he could get more money from Islamic Jihad, so he worked for them for a few months but then switched back to Fatah because he didn’t like his Islamic Jihad salary.”
Israeli security sources said Shehadi previously assisted in terrorist attacks carried out from the Bethlehem area by the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
