Gaza-Interior Ministry
Senior Palestinian engineer, Dirar Abu Sisi, 42, was reportedly kidnapped in his way to Ukraine by Israeli secret agents from a train one year ago .
Sources confirmed that he was being held by Israeli authorities, but not the details of his capture, after a ruling by a court in Petah Tiqva, east of Tel Aviv.
Israel has charged Abu-Sisi of running a training academy for Hamas militants and developing the Islamist group's rockets.
Mr Abu Sisi's lawyer says the charges against him are untrue and they will seek to have the case dismissed.
Abu Sisi’s wife said that the Israeli secret service Mossad carried out the abduction in order to sabotage a key electric power plant in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip where he worked as a senior manager. “I don’t suspect it, I am sure of it,” [Veronika] Abu Sisi told Media office - MOI in a telephone interview. “My husband was the heart of the only electric station in Gaza, or rather its brain. It’s a strategic object and they wanted to disable it.”
Notably, Abu Sisi is saidto have been born in Jordan and received a doctorate in Electrical Engineering in the Ukraine, where he married a Ukranian woman. He has six children.
