... Fatah al-Islam, an offshoot of the Syria-backed secular Palestinian terrorist group Fatah al-Intifada, has been led by Shakir al-Absi, a well-known Palestinian-Jordanian militant who was sentenced to death in absentia in Jordan for his involvement in the 2002 murder of U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley. Moreover, Fatah al-Islam initiated the recent hostilities in the Nahr al-Barid Palestinian refugee camp near Tripoli, Lebanon, with an unprovoked attack on Lebanese security forces in May, and used civilian refugees as human shields during the fighting. Over 130 Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in the conflict at Nahr al-Barid. This terrorist group threatens the safety and security of the Lebanese people and the region.</blockquote></ref>

<ref>Elior Levy, [https://m.ynet.co.il/articles/bk211jtim5 Documents from the Defensive Shield prove: This is how the Palestinian Authority supported terrorist attacks and terrorists], ''YNet'', Apr 16, 2022.<blockquote>
<font size=1>
The letter to Arafat verifying the allegations that the PA defended terrorist cells, the documents that stunned Marwan Barghouti during his trial, and the surprises revealed in the Muqata in Ramallah. Documents found during Operation Defensive Shield are first revealed 20 years later and shed light on the PA's role in attacks against Israel.
The Israeli defense system has always been known as a breakthrough in the integration of intelligence production technology. But signal intelligence (SIGINT in professional language) as good as it may be can not be a substitute for human intelligence (HUMINT) and field intelligence that there is only one way to achieve it - with feet on the ground. This assumption is true today and was also true two decades ago, during the days of the second intifada.
One of the major questions that troubled the defense establishment during the Intifada in the early 2000s was the extent to which the Palestinian Authority and its security forces were involved in promoting terrorist attacks against Israeli targets.
Operation Defensive Shield, at the height of the Intifada, in which the IDF reconquered Palestinian cities, provided an opportunity to get its hands on incriminating material that could shed light on the Palestinian leadership's plans and actions on this issue. 20 years.
Classified documents and plans to protect the section
For the purpose of locating the materials, the field intelligence unit was recruited AMSHT (Collection of loot documents and technical equipment). The intelligence unit, which consists of reservists, was established during the Yom Kippur War and its role is to enter the raiding areas with the fighting forces, collect documents and material equipment and go out with it from the operational activities.
During Operation Defensive Shield, IDF forces raided, among other things, security and civilian facilities of the Palestinian Authority. Many documents of enormous intelligence value were stored inside the headquarters of the security services and office buildings, and the unit's role was to reach and collect them.

(From the private album)
"We worked according to the requirements of the intelligence department," said Haim Levy, one of the unit's founders and its SMGD (Deputy Commander of a Battalion.) during the operation. "The unit was composed of fighters and translators. We joined elite units and within the target we carried out the intelligence handling. "In any such raid, we began to sort out the relevant documents on the ground that might shed light on the intentions of the Palestinians, and if there was a large amount of documents and maps - we would seize them and take them out to the bases."
As the operation deepened, the unit's work became more and more frequent, and within a short time the IDF obtained enormous amounts of official documents, correspondence, maps, weapons and other means.
"We set up a huge hangar in the Beit El area, to which large quantities of crates were poured, including all the material we collected," Levy said. "At one point the hangar was not enough, so another hangar was set up in Glilot, where Unit 8200 is located."
The document sorting method was based on a number of filters. The first - field sorting of materials that may be relevant. Because in these areas there were battles between IDF forces and Palestinian militants, the sorting was preliminary and quick.
The second filter was in a hangar in Beit El, to which the crates were dumped and where translators from various units in the intelligence corps passed through them. The third stage of screening was carried out in a hangar set up in Glilot, which was obtained by documents that had a high intelligence value, and from which the intelligence obtained through them was processed.
The unit also operated for the purpose of producing intelligence at sites used for military purposes and carrying out terrorist attacks. "We raided lathes where improvised weapons were made and explosive labs. In the labs we would take the materials and from them the intelligence corps was able to learn what the terrorist organizations' capabilities were in producing explosive devices and explosive belts. Among other things, we got our hands on explosive training manuals."
Some of the activity also required breaking into hard safes where particularly sensitive documents were stored. "We had a special team whose job was to break into safes. The team was skilled, and it was a matter of a few minutes," Haim said. "In the safes we found classified documents, money, lists of military operatives, war theory booklets, and operational plans to protect the Muqatta in Ramallah."
The raids of the AMSHT (Collection of loot documents and technical equipment) unit did not only end with the facilities of the Palestinian security forces and Hamas explosives laboratories. In those days, the IDF took control of large parts of the Muqata compound in Ramallah, a small part of which was besieged by Yasser Arafat.
During the search, we found documents that directly linked Arafat to the attacks and the aides who were part of the chain of attacks," recalled Shlomo (Sami) Ohana, who served in those days as a unit commander in the unit. "All the materials we obtained in our activities were transferred, among other things, to the American administration by the then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon."
The letter that indicted Arafat
One of the documents seized by the unit, linking senior Palestinian Authority officials to terrorism and aiding the wanted, is a December 2001 letter personally addressed to Yasser Arafat with the logo of Palestinian General Security, one of the Palestinian security services.
The letter reports that in accordance with Arafat's request, a squad of the Islamic Jihad organization operating from the Jenin refugee camp was monitored and the Palestinian Authority is interested in arresting its members to prevent Israel from arresting or eliminating them. The letter states that members of the cell have expressed a willingness to cooperate with the arrest.

In fact, the letter makes it clear that the Palestinian Authority has tried to save terrorist cells, including those affiliated with extremist factions and rivals such as Islamic Jihad, through defensive detention until the rage passes.
In those days, Ohana knew the section closely, because the unit's fighters were repeatedly dispatched into the large compound following intelligence information about the presence of unusual means in it. One of the dispatches there he remembers most of all:
[https://ynet-images1.yit.co.il/picserver5/crop_images/2022/04/11/r1T00KefEc/r1T00KefEc_0_90_1024_576_0_x-large.jpg]
The Muqata in Ramallah as documented by AMSHT fighters
(From the private album)
"One Friday evening I received a phone call from Haim (Haim Levy the SMGD - E.L.), and he asked me to arrive quickly at the unit. And carrying out a serious attack. "
Israel has already gained experience from severe terrorist attacks carried out from the air, such as the Night of the Gliders in 1987. "We quickly jumped into the muqattah and started searching a certain part of the compound. We went into one of the rooms and discovered a parachute with an engine placed next to it on the floor. Then we discovered another parachute, and everything was meters from where Arafat was besieged.
The documents that left Barghouti in shock
One of the symbols of the second intifada was the head of Fatah's Tanzim, Marwan Barghouti. In 2002, he was arrested in a special operation, after receiving information that he was hiding in a residential building in the Tira neighborhood of Ramallah. The AMSHT unit got its hands on many documents that linked Barghouti to terrorist activities, the transfer of weapons, and financial assistance to the wanted.
One of the seized documents was written in August 2001, with an official request from the Tubas district of the Fatah movement to help return an M-16 rifle confiscated by the Palestinian Preventive Security in the district.

Barghouti's appeal to help return the rifle

The letter clarified that the weapon belonged to Khaled Dragma, who was wanted by Israel at the time. At the bottom of the letter is a note in Barghouti's handwriting, in which he addresses Jibril Rajoub, who at the time was head of the Preventive Security Service in the West Bank, and calls on him to intervene to return the rifle.

In another document seized and signed by Barghouti, from February 2002, there is a personal appeal to Yasser Arafat asking to pay a released security prisoner named Jamal Odeh, who was imprisoned for 11 years in Israel, $ 5,000 in aid of building a house.
In principle, and not necessarily related to this request, in those days the Palestinians used seemingly innocent code words among themselves for the purpose of transferring funds intended to direct terrorist attacks, out of caution from the Israeli security system and international intelligence agencies.

The documents seized by the unit, which link Barghouti to involvement in terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, became evidence in the trial against him. During the trial, Levy, who was part of the collections of those incriminating documents, was required to testify in court.
"The documents we found indicted him and revealed his involvement in terrorist attacks, in paying salaries to terrorists, in encouraging camps that provided inciting education for children," he said. "I was warned that he tends to lash out at witnesses to challenge them. But in my testimony he did not utter a word and looked down when we presented the incriminating documents. He was in shock."
Palestinian police turned a blind eye to attacks against Israel
The documents seized in Operation Defensive Shield also shed light on internal frictions between senior members of the Palestinian security forces. One of them, is a letter of complaint signed by the Preventive Security Commander in Ramallah in those days, Sabri Tamizi.
In a letter from July 2001, addressed to the head of the main operations, he laments that the members of "Force 17" in Beituniya are working against IDF forces from the homes of Palestinian civilians, against their will.

Another document seized is a circular from the Palestinian police chief, Razi Jabali, in which he demands that the ceasefire be maintained with Israel and not harmed. This follows cases in which Palestinian police, mainly from the Jenin district, were "recruited for the purpose of fulfilling foreign goals that harm Palestinians," meaning that police turned a blind eye or participated in terrorist activities against Israel.

"The documents found during the Defensive Shield period last night were critical to completing the intelligence picture regarding the Palestinian Authority's involvement in carrying out terrorist attacks," said Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser, who headed the Armenian research division during the operation. We and the political echelon must present conclusive proof of this to our partners around the world. "
Followers
Twenty years have passed since Operation Defensive Shield. The Palestinian leadership in Ramallah has changed and changed its approach to inciting inferno attacks against Israelis. Levy and Ohana have already been released from the reserve, but it is clear in a conversation with them that they still carry closely their experiences from those days.
Levy said that if he had the opportunity, he would like to meet with Abu Mazen. "He is the person who pulls the strings. There is cooperation with him, and today they prevent a lot of things." Ohana, on the other hand, expressed interest in his opponent at home. "I would be happy to meet Muhammad Dahlan, he is a character we would hear a lot about. At every intersection I would hear his name. I am very interested to know what he thinks today and what he wants. I would also give him some advice."

( From the private album )]
The time that has passed since the operation and the technological revolution have led to an evolutionary process also in the unit itself, which now operates as a battalion of fighters within Unit 8200, and in a completely different way than before.
"The world has changed and we had to adapt to reality," said the current commander of the cruise, Captain G. “We have established a boutique force that is the latest evolution of last night. Today we specialize in working within targets from which we are required to extract intelligence in any configuration possible in real time. That is, if in the past equipment was taken back in anti-aircraft guns - then we know everything in the field. "
Most of the unit's work in recent years has focused on the Palestinian arena. "We get into action in places where the only way to get intelligence is with our feet on the ground. Our way of thinking is that we reach a destination, and it can be likened to an escape room.
According to Capt. Z., despite technological advances, another bright future awaits the party he heads. "This unit is only becoming more and more relevant. As the world progresses there are a lot of advanced technological capabilities that allow for remote accessibility, but on the other hand there are also things that cannot be reached, but only physically."</font></blockquote></ref>
