Mossad's Man Inside Hamas

OldSouth always wondered how the Israelis seem to know exactly where to find the terrorists they seek.

Well, now we know in part, to quote St. Paul.

The son of one of Hamas’s founding members was a spy in the service of Israel for more than a decade, helping to prevent dozens of Islamist suicide bombers from finding their targets, it emerged yesterday. Codenamed the “Green Prince” by Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of the Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, supplied key intelligence almost daily from 1996. He tracked down suicide bombers and their handlers from his father’s organisation, the Haaretz newspaper said.

It's an inspiring read about moral courage in the most dangerous of circumstances.

Truly, a Green Shoots nominee.
