Haaretz skriver en intressant artikel om sonen till en av Hamas grundare som arbetade för israeliska säkerhetstjänsten.
Haaretz exclusive: Hamas founder's son worked for Shin Bet for years
Mosab Hassan Yousef är son till Sheikh Hassan Yousef, en av Hamasledarna på västbanken.
Den nu 32-årige Mosab Hassan Yousef blev kristen för 10 åre sedan och började abetade för Israel 1997. Han flydde från västbanken till USA 2007 och bor nu i Californien.
Tack vare den information som Yousef lämnade under intifadan kunde flera terrorattacker förhindras och många liv räddas.
Yousef gav inte information till Israel för pengar utan för att han ville rädda liv.
Haaretz:
"Yousef was considered the Shin Bet's most reliable source in the Hamas leadership, earning himself the nickname "the Green Prince" - using the color of the Islamist group's flag, and "prince" because of his pedigree as the son of one of the movement's founders. During the second intifada, intelligence Yousef supplied led to the arrests of a number of high-ranking Palestinian figures responsible for planning deadly suicide bombings. These included Ibrahim Hamid (a Hamas military commander in the West Bank, Marwan Barghouti (founder of the Fatah-linked Tanzim militia) and Abdullah Barghouti (a Hamas bomb-maker with no close relation to the Fatah figure). Yousef was also responsible for thwarting Israel's plan to assassinate his father."
Hamas founder's son helped Shin Bet foil attack on Peres
"An attempt on the life of then-foreign minister Shimon Peres in 2001 was foiled by Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the founders of Hamas who worked for more than a decade as a Shin Bet security service agent, according to a soon-to-be-released book. "
