Israeli media revealed that in 2008 authorities tried to capture former Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari but failed. Jabari was killed in an airstrike by the IAF in November 2012 at the start of Operation Pillar of Defense. Talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials are expected to resume on Tuesday in Washington. Authorities arrested a Palestinian suspected of firing on buses in the West Bank. Defense Minister Ya’alon instructed authorities to stop cooperating with EU projects in the West Bank. An Israeli official involved in compensation talks with Turkey said Turkey has no desire to reconcile with Israel and seeks only to humiliate it.
