   Aziz Abayat, born in 1971, a former pharmacology student in al Najah University in Nablus now working Bethlehem's Hussein Hospital, is a Hamas armed operative, who has been linked to the senior Hamas terrorist leaders in the area. He joined the terrorist apparatus in Samaria when at al Najah University, where he served as a ranking leader of the Hamas' 'Koutleh' Islamic Front. Upon his return to Bethlehem, he joined the Hamas' Iz a-Din al Qassam terrorist group and recruited members on its behalf. Aziz is very knowledgeable in the realm of explosives preparation, a skill which he often puts to use. Being a pharmacist, he was able to purchase chemical compounds used in the manufacture of high explosives. He orchestrated and initiated the planting of bombs and charges in the Bethlehem area, as well as shooting attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli targets.
   
   Aziz took part in the dispatch of the suicide bombers Taleb Hermes and Ahmed Abedah, who detonated themselves against an IDF roadblock which they encountered on their way to carry out a synchronized high explosive suicide attack in Jerusalem.
   ...
   Further information regarding Aziz came to light in the course of the questioning of other terrorists:
   
   - Nassri Zeir, the leader of an Iz a-Din al Kassam terrorist cell operating in Bethlehem disclosed that Aziz was responsible for the activities of all Hamas armed operatives in the Bethlehem area.
   
   - Murad Rajbi, a Bethlehem 'Koutleh' operative, described Aziz as a senior 'Koutleh' leader, involved in Hamas operations emanating fromal Najah University.
   ...
   Aziz Abayat is a one of the Hamas' prominent field commanders in Bethlehem, and would be the natural choice to replace the leadership of the Hamas' Bethlehem apparatus, which was apprehended during the course of Operation Defensive Shield.
   
   9. Mamdoukh Akhsan Mohammed Wardiyan Wardiyan, born in 1979, is an armed operative of the Hamas. He was imprisoned until June 2001, for recruiting on behalf of the Hamas and the Koutleh Islamic Front, being a member of a Hamas terrorist cell, and carrying out street violence. When released from prison, he returned to his Hamas terrorist activities, becoming a senior armed member of the Hamas' terrorist apparatus.
   ...
   Due to the removal of the senior Hamas leadership as a result of Operation Defensive Shield, and his stature in the organization, Wardiyan, together with Aziz Abayat, are liable to become the next leaders of the Hamas' terrorist apparatus in Bethlehem.

   Wardiyan was the close aide of Aziz Abayat and Bassem Hamoud, an armed operative who was injured during the standoff at the Nativity Church, and subsequently hospitalized.
   
   The fact that Wardiyan returned to terrorist activities upon his release from prison, and his immediate integration into the senior Hamas field leadership, demonstrates that it can be assumed that he will strive to carry out terrorist activities whenever conditions permit.
