Het laboratorium.
 
Dit is het zoveelste voorbeeld van hoe Hamas mensenlevens - ook Palestijnse - ondergeschikt maakt aan haar politieke en religieuze doelen.

Hebron – Ma'an – Palestinian Authority (PA) police said they discovered an explosives laboratory in a residential neighborhood of Hebron on Friday.

Hebron Police Chief Ramadan Awad told Ma'an that "we confiscated explosives and prevented a would-be disaster," warning of "grave consequences" had the police not acted.

"The police are watching suspicious movements of a group of people," he said. "Based on the information we received, we think this group is affiliated with Hamas," he alleged.

"This group - which is a Hamas-affiliated cell - was manufacturing and storing large quantities of explosives in a deserted house in the middle of a residential neighborhood," he said. The neighborhood is known as Duwar Al-Manara, or Manara Circle.

After breaking into the house, Awad said the police unit "found a long tunnel that led to a laboratory for manufacturing explosives."

Awad did not explain why Hebron police believe the house's occupants are linked to Hamas or what evidence, if any, led him to claim that they are affiliates of the Islamic movement.

A security source who asked not to be named told Ma'an that during the investigation, "an explosion took place in the lab" that could have sparked a "disaster to all of the residents of the city" had it ignited other explosive material in the house.

Later, Awad told Ma'an that Hebron police had detained 11 suspects linked to the lab, and that they are currently being interrogated.

Previously, the PA's public intelligence forces took over two warehouses that they said contained "large amounts of explosive and ammunition" at a house meters away from the lab uncovered Friday. Intelligence officials declined to comment on the more recent discovery.
