Hamas Founder's Son Worked for Israel Security Agency -Avi Issacharoff
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a Hamas founder and one of its leaders in the West Bank, served for over a decade as the Israel Security Agency's most valuable source inside the organization's leadership, Ha'aretz has learned.
During the second intifada, the intelligence he supplied Israel led to the exposure of a number of terrorist cells, and to the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Israeli figures.
Yousef, 32, became a devout Christian 10 years ago and now lives in California. His memoir, Son of Hamas, will be released next week in the U.S.
Yousef's former handler says, "So many people owe him their life and don't even know it." "The amazing thing is that none of his actions were done for
money....He did things he believed in. He wanted to save lives."
Yousef says: "Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis. That is against what their God tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels, only a cease-fire....The Hamas leadership is responsible for the killing of Palestinians, not Israelis." "Palestinians! They do not hesitate to massacre people in a mosque or to throw people from the 15th or 17th floor of a building, as they did during the coup in Gaza. The Israelis would never do such things. I tell you with certainty that the Israelis care about the Palestinians far more than the Hamas or Fatah leadership does."
