The son of a key Hamas militant leader in Palestine, Mosab Hassan Yousef, has said he has been acting as an intelligence informant to Israel for many years, newspaper Haaretz reports.
Son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef who is a founder of the political and Palestinian militant group Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef has acted over a decade as a key intelligence informant and may have helped prevent dozens of terror attacks and assassination attempts.
In 2007, Mosab Hassan Yousef made world wide headlines after he revealed he had converted to Christianity, to the disgust of his family. Mosab Hassan Youself fled to the United States and now resides in California.
So valuable was the information Mosab Hassan Yousef provided that he was nick named the Green Prince by Israali intelligence officers.
"I wish I were in Gaza now," Yousef said by phone from California, "I would put on an army uniform and join Israel's special forces in order to liberate Gilad Shalit. If I were there, I could help. We wasted so many years with investigations and arrests to capture the very terrorists that they now want to release in return for Shalit. That must not be done."
The full story of Mosab Hassan Yousef will be available in Haaretz weekly news magazine later this week.
