Security Services activities with the aid of the IDF in March 2013 arrested a resident of Shechem who was meeting with an activist who was released in the "Gilad Shalit Deal" and who expressed the desire to perpetrate terror attacks for a large sum of money.  The person who was arrested worked in order to find weapons for carrying out the terror attack, but fortunately was arrested before he could.  The person who was arrested is Amir Birkat, born in 1988 resident of Shechem returned in February 2013 from going up to Mecca.  In the interrogation by the Security Froces he admitted that during his visit to Mecca, he met with Amir Dukan an activist from the Balata Refugee Camp in Shechem who was released in the "Gilad Shalit Deal", and went to the Gaza Strip.Dukan proposed to Birkat that he carry out a shooting terror attack on the Shechem Bypass Highway, or to attack the Hawawara checkpost near Shechem with grenades in return for receiving $ 60,000 U.S.
When Birkat returned to Shechem he contacted Dukan and agreed to carry ot the proposed attack, and even acquired a gun.  This investigation proves yet again the intense efforts  of the Terror Organizations to promote terror attacks in Yesha with active involvement of the released terrorists from the" Gilad Shalit Deal".  More and more efforts for terror attacks are being planned by those terrorists released in the "Deal" who went into Gaza.  This is an outrageous violation of the conditions of the release of these terrorists within the framework of the "Deal" which was signed with the guidance and involvement of Egypt, and carried out under the auspices of the Hamas in Gaza.
 
With the coordinated efforts of the Security Forces and the Israeli Police during the months of January-February 2013 the representative of Hamas and their operators were arrested attempting to bring money to pay for terror actions.  In the hands of the messenger at Allenby passage around 10,000 Euro and $900 US were found hidden within cigarette cases.
 
The two brothers who were arrested are residents of the Pirah Refugees Camp in the Shechem region and they are:
The messenger, Machmed Rashad Dif Allah Sualma, born 1972; arrested at the Allenby Bridge January 29, 2013.
 
The terrorist –Achmed Rashad Dif Allah Sualma, born 1971 Hamas activist.  Arrested February 17, 2013 based on his brothers confession.

During the interrogation of the Security Forces, Machmed Sualma confessed that we went to Jordan sent by his brother Achmed, with the intent to smuggle money for terrorist activities into Yesha, paid by the Hamas.  The money was given in Jordan through the messenger, Amir Dukan, one of the terrorists released in the "Deal" who had been banished to Gaza.  There he contacted agents of various terrorist organizations including the Hamas.  In addition Machmed admitted that he was supposed to receive additional money from Zalach Elaruri, a senior Hamas member who is abroad.

March 13, 2013 Achmed and Machmed were served by the Miitary Court in the Shomron.

Machmed Sualma was charged with deliberately attempting to smuggle enemy money into the region, contact with the enemy, and attempting to carry out illegal operations and making connections in order to deal with equipment used in attacks.

This investigation sheds light on the continued attempts by terror organizations to smuggle money into Yesha with the use of messengers who return to Yesha through the Allenby crossing.

As a result of this lately there are serious efforts at the Allenby Crossing to uncover and prevent the transfer of funds for terror into the region, and in addition, thorough body searches are made on suspects of transferring the funds for terror.
