File under: Hamas

#1 It will be intriguing to see how this plays out. Hamas controls the tunnel infrastructure in Gaza, and meters heavy discipline to transgressors. Egypt (who are trying to maintain relations with Gaza)are now specifically declaring the attacks were perpetrated from Gaza but not Hamas. We read in WOT Background that the Sinai terrorists (? Gazans) have an affiliation with IS. IS and Hamas are ideologically at odds. The question...has IS infiltrated Gaza or have Hamas and IS entered a new cooperation?

#4 has IS infiltrated Gaza or have Hamas and IS entered a new cooperation?

A good question, Incredulous. As I recall, ISIS, as it was then, appeared in the Gaza Strip a year or so ago, and upon causing trouble was slapped down hard by Hamas. That was then. Clearly Hamas is supporting Ansar Bayt al Maqdis in the Sinai with materiel if not men or safe havens... and ABaM just swore fealty to IS. So an additional question is whether Hamas still feels the need to make nice with the Mamluks currently running Egypt, the ones who've closed their crossing and destroyed almost all the tunnels, and whether that's more important than helping those attacking the Mamluks who destroyed the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which previously and briefly ruled Egypt.
