Two Hamas Generals Dismissed on Iran's Orders
2009-06-04
Hamas political leader Khaled Meshal recently relieved two brigade commanders in the Gaza Strip on Iranian recommendations, Palestinian sources said Wednesday. The two officers, Bassam Issa and Imat Aakel, were removed from their positions following the recommendation of Iranian satraps Revolutionary Guard officials who participated in the investigation of the perceived Hamas military failure during Operation Cast Lead.

Issa and Aakel have also recently been at odds with Hamas' new interior minister, Fathi Hammad, who had tried to extend his authority over the organization's military wing.

#1  That's easy for the Iranians to say. They never had to face the IDF in ground combat. It would be interesting to see how well they would perform under similar circumstances.
