Shin Bet revealed on Monday that an Arab-Israeli citizen who was recruited by Hamas to plant a bomb at a bus stop in central Israel was arrested on August 15. Mahmoud Maqdad, 30, a resident of the Bedouin town of Segev Shalom in southern Israel, was arrested along with nine of his relatives, who are suspected of being involved in the plot. In 2019, Hamas recruited Maqdad, the son of a Gazan father and an Israeli-Bedouin mother after he married a woman living in the Gaza Strip. The terror organization took advantage of the fact that Maqdad split his time between the Gaza Strip and Israel and was allowed to easily cross between the two under the family reunification law, enabling Hamas to meet with him in the Strip and send him on missions inside Israel.
