Hamas Arrests Six Members Planning to Join Islamic State in Sinai
2017-08-28
[Breitbart] Special intelligence forces of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, have foiled an attempt by six Hamas holy warriors to join Wilyat Sinai, the Egyptian branch of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, a Hamas security source told Breitbart Jerusalem.

According to the source, two of those tossed in the slammer
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
are members of the al-Qassam Brigades’ unit of elite fighters and another is a naval commando. Two others are regular Hamas members and the last of the six was serving in the Hamas security services in the city of Rafah.

The group of six were arrested together, said the source, as they planned to infiltrate Sinai through tunnels in Rafah. They were arrested with Kalashnikov rifles belonging to Hamas in their possession, which they intended to take with them to Sinai. All six were transferred to a prison facility run by the al-Qassam Brigades’ special intelligence and, after initial questioning, are due to be transferred to a prison facility run by Hamas’ Interior Ministry.

The security source in Hamas said that the organization was surprised by group’s plan, which comes after an incident last week in which a Hamas security officer was killed while detaining two jihadists who were trying to infiltrate Sinai.

Earlier this week, a Gazook jihadist told Breitbart Jerusalem that Hamas arrested over 170 jihadists in the wake of the incident.
