Hamas kills its own commander for unnamed ‘violations’

“Israel knows Hamas is rebuilding its capacities after the last conflict by digging new cross-border tunnels and testing new missiles”, Abu Saada said.

This oversight occurred in the several months prior to Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, during which the IDF destroyed dozens of tunnels in Gaza, the document claimed, according to Israeli news outlet nrg.

The Iran-Hamas-ISIS axis is part of Iran’s strategy of using proxy forces against USA allies like Egypt and Israel as part of a larger strategy to achieve hegemony over the Middle East. This has resulted in one of the region’s best kept secrets: An intensive cooperation mechanism between Iran, Hamas, and ISIS, based on money, weapons, military equipment, and training.

Responding to the announcement, Sari Bashi, the Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, called it “another extra-judicial killing by forces linked to Hamas”.

The man was reportedly a member of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, and was working in a tunnel near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.

In the wake of that report, the IDF has begun examining complaints of underground activity in the Gaza border area, in order to determine if Gaza terrorists are indeed building tunnels into Israel. But he angrily rejected a leaked report Monday from a closed Cabinet meeting in which Naftali Bennett, head of the nationalist Jewish Home party, was said to have suggested a pre-emptive attack against the tunnels.

“The United Nations supports all efforts undertaken to advance genuine Palestinian reconciliation on the basis of non-violence, democracy and PLO principles”, Mladenov said in a statement.

He said to Anadolu Agency that it is “unacceptable for Israel to launch a war against what Hamas named by the battle of preparation”.

Israeli security officials have warned that any calm in Gaza will be temporary unless locals are given an incentive to keep the peace.

Eshtaiwi, described by Al Qassam Brigades as “a member of the corps” was sentenced to death at 4pm on 7 February.
