Hamas chief says group looking to expand clashes to West Bank
2018-05-19
[IsraelTimes] The leader of Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, says the terror group will work to expand the violent border festivities in Gazoo to the West Bank.

Speaking at Gazoo City’s Great Mosque, Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
vows the violent "March of Return" protests will continue, after they dropped off dramatically following Monday’s deadly riots.

"The March of Return will continue until it achieves its goals, among them expressing opposition to the Trump [peace] deal," Channel 10 reports Haniyeh as saying. "The march will not stop until the blockade on the Gazoo Strip is fully lifted. We won’t accept half-solutions."

Haniyeh also addresses reports earlier in the week that Israel warned Hamas it would target its leaders if the terror group does not rein in the festivities.

"These are rumors that don’t scare us. We grew up on the values of deaders. Our blood ‐ the commanders ‐ is not more dear than the blood of the Gazook people," Haniyeh says.

#2  Hamas has been trying to expand into the West Bank for years. The mass rocket attacks of a few years ago were supposed to dovetail with the decapitation of the PA rulers, attacks on Israelis from operatives in the West Bank, and an eruption of attacks and kidnappings through the Gaza tunnels.

Unfortunately, a couple of their West Bank operatives got bored and kidnapped three Haredi schoolboys. In the hunt that followed, the Israelis disovered much and arrested more, pretty much spiking Hamas’s guns.
