Pilgrimage of Peace

Four Israeli Arabs were recruited by Hamas while on a pilgrimage to Mecca

The four, who live in the Galilee and were students at universities in Jordan, were allegedly recruited while on a pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. There, they allegedly were trained to take weapons apart and put them together, Army Radio reported.
The four were allegedly ordered to gather intelligence about bus schedules, security aboard buses, and security at malls and other crowded locations, which Hamas apparently intended to use to help plan terror attacks against Israeli targets.

The pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the most sacred rituals of the Religion of Peace.
