Israeli Security Minister Confronts Hamas Terrorist in Prison
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited Hassan Salameh, a senior Hamas operative and architect of deadly bus bombings, in prison. During the encounter, Ben-Gvir confronted Salameh, who is serving 46 life sentences for his role in the 1996 Jerusalem bus attacks that killed dozens.
Ben-Gvir told Salameh that as National Security Minister, he had made the terrorist's prison conditions hellish. He further declared that if he were to become Defense Minister in the future, he would work to have Salameh executed. Ben-Gvir described the meeting as a significant personal full circle, recalling his own protests as a youth following the bus bombings.
Salameh was sent by Mohammed Deif in early 1996 to carry out revenge attacks after the assassination of Yahya Ayyash. He was captured by Israeli forces near Hebron in May 1996. His military trial convicted him of direct responsibility for suicide bombings that claimed 46 lives and injured dozens more, resulting in an unprecedented sentence of multiple life imprisonments.
