Suspect in the planned ISIS suicide bombing, Ala’ Bashir. Click to see full-size image
The Palestinian Authority foiled a planned ISIS suicide bombing attack in Israel, Ynetnews reported on May 26th.
An anonymous senior source in the PA was cited, claiming that Ala’ Bashir, a 23-year-old teacher, from the West Bank city of Kalkilya was the suspected suicide bomber. She was arrested two weeks earlier by the PA authorities and has been kept in custody ever since.
She was arrested in a mosque in the village of Jainsafout, east of Kalkilya. Witnesses said 25 security officers raided the Othman Bin Affan mosque and arrested Bashir while she was teaching children the Quran.
The PA’s Preventive Security Service (PSS), whose members arrested Bashir, said she was taken into custody on the basis of information that “certain parties operating outside the national consensus, and which had contributed to the destabilization of surrounding Arab countries, had exploited her difficult psychological and social condition.”
Bashir was arrested in order to save her from this exploitation attempt, the PSS added. “She was arrested in accordance with the law, and her arrest has nothing to do with political affiliation.”
Bashir’s mother, Asmahan, said that the PA security forces first raided the family home in search of her daughter. “They stormed our home around 5:30 p.m. and identified themselves as members of the Preventive Security Service,” she said. “They said they had a warrant to search the house, but did not show it to me. They conducted a thorough search of the house and confiscated our computers. They asked about my daughter, and I told them she was teaching in the mosque.”
Immediately, there were calls online to release Bashir, since she was allegedly arrested for no reason.

According to Ynet’s PA source, Bashir joined ISIS after she was approached on the Telegram encrypted instant messaging app to set out on a suicide mission. After this initial encounter, she was in contact with ISIS operatives in Syria and the Gaza Strip, who sent her an online training booklet on how to make a bomb.
According to the PA, Ala’ Bashir had in the past expressed solidarity for Al Qaeda and the Salafist movement in the Gaza Strip. She allegedly had social problems and decided to end her life by committing the attack.
Reportedly, she had family connections to a ranking official in the PA’s intelligence forces.
Separately, the Jewish News Syndicate on May 21st, accused the PA of lying that it has financial issues due to Israel, and that it rather has them because it funds terrorists.
The Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch obtained figures from the Israeli Finance Ministry.
“In 2018, tax revenues amounted to an average of NIS 670 million [$185.3 million] per month,” said Maurice Hirsch, head of legal strategies at PMW. “So even after deducting the NIS 42 million, the tax revenues in February 2019 totaled more than NIS 686 million [$190 million], NIS 16 million [$4.4 million] more than the monthly average in 2018.”
“It is now being argued,” said Hirsch, “that the P.A. is in danger of economic collapse only because of Israel’s implementation of the law to deduct from the tax revenues. This claim is baseless. The P.A.’s financial crisis is not the result of the deduction of the funds by the Israeli government. The financial crisis is a direct result of the decision of the P.A. to insist not only to continue to encourage terror and reward terrorists, but also to demand that the State of Israel be a partner to this pugnacious policy and allow the P.A. to make the payments out of the tax revenues that Israel collects and transfers to it.”
Notwithstanding, the case of the suspected planned ISIS suicide attack was not the first time the PA foiled an attack on Israelis. This has happened several times in the past year.
So does this mean that ISIS is finally starting the bite another one of the hands that feeds them? Their previous attacks in the West also caused the West to turn against them. If they hadn’t carried out attacks like Charlie Hebdo or the Bataclan would the West have continued to view ISIS just like it does Al Nusra still today? As useful idiots to be used against Assad and Russia, and who would still receive tacit support from the West?
Don’t you feel it sounds too perfect ?, ISIS in Palestine ???, going to attack Israel ???, stopped by the PA ???.
Nope. It sounds perfectly in character for ISIS. They’re rabid dogs and they always turn on their masters. It was bound to happen sooner or later. It just happened a lot sooner in the West then it did against Israel.
Not sure, ISIS dickheads have never attacked Jew scum anywhere and have been taking arms, medicines and even sending wounded headchoppers to Zionist hospitals in Occupied Palestine, so why start now?
Because ISIS are a bunch of rabid dogs. And they don’t think straight. Why commit the attacks at Charly Hebdo or the Bataclan? The West was providing them with weapons, intel and turning a blind eye to their atrocities in Syria and Iraq. By committing those attacks they forced the West to attack ISIS. If they hadn’t the Caliphate might still exist, just like Al Nusra’s own little caliphate in Idlib still exists.
Why would Israel attack themselves? Sounds more like an Israeli FF, never meant to happen…only for promotional purposes. Must be something political coming up soon.
Yep, exactly how I inferred.
Probably fake news to fuck up the Palestinians even more.
The PA and Mahmoud Abbas are pimps for Zionists, they will sell anyone for shekels.
This sounds like another stunt by the Zionist stooge Mahmoud Abbas to garner support in the west. The so-called Palestinian Authority is a toothless vassal of the Zionists and has actively collaborated in the expansion of Zionist settlements and never condemned the Zionist war crimes in Gaza.
Must have been on Mossad’s payroll for some time.
Yeah, toothless vassals of the scums of this earth, huh, bigboy, any Palestinian child have balls of sices most of you drooling f….. would never even come close to have, and only qujones blames the victim, I always blame the MoFO whom is doing the crime, morons, do you even have an idea of how its to live in something basically an consetration camp, the most populated area in the world, total enclosed, under total blokade, an mile long saction list incl papers and pens, every time your child goes out, you may never see it again, due to some whom find it to be an sport, huh, the same pack of scums that whines about Hitler, Germany, yeah, even drags up Holohoax ad infinitum.
The problem, is all due to ISISrael, and nobody else. This, if even true, I can understand, people eventually just snaps. But I again have nothing against Hamas, they have my suport unconditionally, allways. Because they are the legitim Gov of the Palestinian enclave called Gaza.
The thing is, perspective, but in an world of blind, the one eyes is the king. I hope you rott in hell. But, despite the scums and their friends, blessed be the peacemaker/s.
peace
Sounds she has been conned by a Mossad agent to carry out crimes so, they could attack her own Palestinian people.
