Nevertheless, some, such as those at Almagor, believe that the PA’s interest and cooperation with Israeli security is focused more on hushing up these incidents rather than actually preventing them.
“This little-known phenomenon is not a recent development. Terror attacks have been committed by PSS officials ever since the PSS was established and armed,” Almagor CEO Lt. Col. Meir Indor (ret.) told TPS.
“Since we started documenting attacks in the 90’s, we have recorded numerous terrorist attacks carried out by PSS members,” Indor said.
“However, we can only take into account cases in which the attackers have been caught or identified and in which the IDF censor has allowed it to be made public that they were PSS officials. There are potentially more such incidents that we do not know about that were actually committed by the PSS,” explained Indor.
The IDF and Ministry of Defense refused to comment or to provide further information on the subject.
