Yesterday, Israeli
police arrested six Arabs from a law firm in Jerusalem, four of them
lawyers, on suspicion of transferring messages to and from Palestinian
terrorists when they met with them in Israeli prisons. The terrorists'
accomplices outside would respond by sending coded messages through
official PA TV, the Israeli Walla News reported:
"[Israeli police]
reported that in an attempt to conceal its activity, Hamas would use
Palestinian TV broadcasts to 'encode' messages to the prisoners in the
prisons."

Official PA TV has a number of weekly programs intended for and about the Palestinian prisoners in Israel. Palestinian Media Watch
publicized part of such a PA TV program in November 2013 in which a
terrorist notified his brother in prison that he was planning to kidnap
an Israeli to use as a hostage to negotiate his brother's release. The
terrorist later did kidnap and murder an Israeli, intending to use the
body as a bargaining chip, but was caught before he completed his plan.
When the killer was interrogated by Israeli police he confessed having
sent the message to his brother through PA TV.

PMW is now releasing an additional video in which a released prisoner openly sends a message to other prisoners:
"I have a present for the guys, right after my arrival home: I send
them love [makes heart sign], victory [makes victory sign], and a few
people have signs between me and them, and they know them [additional
sign with thumb and index finger]. And, Allah willing, may their
aspirations be realized."

PMW has no way of
knowing if the signs made by the released prisoner were innocent or not.
However, following yesterday's arrests and the police statement that PA
TV is a vehicle for coded messages between terrorists, PMW has decided
to publicize the video.
The following is the full text:
Released prisoner Bilal Abu Hussein: "I
say to my brothers: Don't think about it too much. It will come on its
own. I wish all of them freedom, especially the prisoners who lived with
me in the Nafha, Gilboa, Ashkelon and Rimon prisons. I wish they may
live the moment of happiness together with their families."
PA TV reporter: "Allah willing."
Abu Hussein: "I
have a present for the guys, right after my arrival home: I send them
love [makes heart sign], victory [makes victory sign], and a few people
have signs between me and them, and they know them [additional sign with
thumb and index finger]. And, Allah willing, may their aspirations be
realized."
