In recent weeks, Ahmed Mahmoud Abu Salah, a 24-year-old Palestinian, was arrested for investigation by the General Security Service after returning from a long period of academic studies in Turkey.
In his investigation by the Shin Bet, it emerged that during his stay in Turkey, Abu Salah was recruited into the terrorist organization Hamas with the assistance of a Hamas operative, Iyad A'adin Akre, and carried out military training in Turkey and Syria, which included weapons training and learning to manufacture explosives, in order to promote attacks against the State of Israel.

Before Abu Salah's return to Israel, he met in Turkey with senior Hamas official Azzam Akre, who asked him to receive weapons and funds, as well as to recruit additional terrorist operatives and indeed for the purpose of establishing terrorist squads as an infrastructure to carry out attacks.
Following his arrest, three more Palestinians were arrested - Uys Mahmoud Abu Salah (20), Salah Mahmoud Abu Salah (23), and Hossein Foaz Akre (25).
In the investigation of the three, it became clear that Uys and Hossein expressed their agreement to enlist in Hamas and even undergo training in the Gaza Strip.
It was also learned that Uys planned to carry out several terrorist attacks, including a bomb attack together with Salah, and that all three of them were involved in throwing stones at police officers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in April 2022 during Ramadan.

At the end of the investigation, indictments were filed against the four, accusing them of serious security offenses.
The investigation also revealed that the four were in contact in Turkey with their relative, Abada Abu Salah, the son of a senior Hamas official in Turkey, Salah Abu Salah.
Abada, acting under the direction of senior Hamas officials in Turkey, with an emphasis on Saleh Al-Aruri, the head of the "West Bank" in Hamas, took advantage of the family connection with the accused and their stay in Turkey for the purpose of studies in order to recruit some of them to the terrorist organization Hamas, as mentioned.
