IDF NABS A BIG FISH

IDF Seizes Most-Wanted West Bank Terrorist - Amos Harel
After an eight-year manhunt, Israeli security forces Tuesday arrested Ibrahim Hamed, 41, Hamas' Ramallah-area commander and Israel's most wanted man in the West Bank. He has been sought since 1998 for terror attacks that claimed the lives of 78 Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Among the attacks Hamed is believed to have helped plan and direct were a car bombing in Zion Square in Jerusalem that killed 11 people, a suicide bombing at the Moment Cafe in Jerusalem in which 12 people were killed, and a double suicide bombing in September 2003 which killed 17 people at Jerusalem's Hillel coffee house and outside the Tsrifin army base.

Perfectly Clear (BackSpin)
Haaretz describes Hamas commander Ibrahim Hamad as "Israel's most wanted man in the West Bank." But it's "not clear" to the BBC's Caroline Hawley why Israel arrested the man now:

BBC correspondent Caroline Hawley in Jerusalem says it is not clear why the army
moved against Hamad. Hamas has not carried out any suicide attacks for 15 months and Israeli military operations in the past few months have focused instead on the militant Islamic Jihad group, which has been responsible for most of the recent bombs.

Not clear? Here are a few perfectly clear reasons (pre-hudna) from the BBC archives in chronological order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The Beeb here also reported Israel's charge that Hamas isn't keeping the truce anyway. Seems clear enough to us.
