| [TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, the Islamist movement that runs Gazoo, has launched a drive to crush local salafist ...also known as Wahhabis, salafists are against innovation in religion or in anything else. They eat the same things every meal of every day and all their children are named Abdullah or Mohammed. Not all salafists are takfiris, but all takfiris are salafists. They are fond of praying five times a day and killing infidels... groups that it fears could weaken their hold on the territory by provoking a new conflict with Israel. The campaign has been steadily intensifying even before fresh Israeli air strikes against Hamas bases on Wednesday in retaliation for rocket fire that was blamed on a small jihadist group professing sympathy for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant [Isil]. A wave of arrests resulting in the detention of hundreds of jihadists over the past month reached a new peak this week when Hamas forces rubbed out Yussef al-Hanar, 27, a local salafist leader, in the northern Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood. Officials said was shot during an attempt to take him into custody. Tuesday evening's rocket fire, which landed in open areas near the Israeli port city of Ashdod and nearby Netivot, was claimed by a group calling itself the Omar Brigades. The group said in a statement that it was avenging al-Hanar's death. Analysts in Gazoo say the salafists - who embrace a strictly ascetic form of Islam - accuse Hamas of abandoning the path of resistance against Israel by agreeing to last summer's ceasefire that ended 50 days of bloody warfare in the coastal strip. In recent weeks, a group allying itself with the Supporters of the Islamic State in Jerusalem - a jihadist organization based in Egypt's Sinai region - is thought to have been responsible for a series of night-time kabooms, none of which have caused any casualties. |
