| Israel intimidates Gazans via text messaging |
| 2009-01-09 |
| Israel and Hamas have opened a new front in the two-week old war in Gaza, using text messages, phone calls and leaflets to intimidate and influence the other side. Palestinians say they have been receiving daily phone calls and text messages from the Israeli army warning them against supporting Hamas and asking for information about the whereabouts of its members. Hamas, in turn, said it has sent menacing text messages to Israeli mobile phones and jammed radio stations, according to a report over the weekend in the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper. "The messages say that the Palestinian resistance missiles will reach you wherever you are and your government won't be able to protect you," Abu Mujaheid, spokesman for the Palestinian Resistance Committees, was quoted as saying. According to Israeli Ynet news dozens of Israelis have received text messages in Hebrew that read: "Rockets on all cities, shelters not protect, Qassam rocket, Hamas. |
