Hamas claims to bust Israeli-run spy ring planning ‘sabotage’
2020-07-05
[IsraelTimes] Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
-based terror group alleges cell was planning to conduct ’anti-resistance’ activities in the Strip, says it confiscated money and equipment.


The Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group arrested several members of an "Israeli-directed" spy ring planning "sabotage" in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas Interior Ministry announced on Friday morning.

"The security services discovered a cell directed by the Israeli occupation as it attempted to conduct sabotage against resistance elements," the ministry said in a statement.

Hamas did not say how many people it had detained and did not provide any evidence of its claims, nor any photos or names of the alleged cell members. It also gave no details on the targets of the cell.

Hamas security services said they had been tracking the cell’s activity for several days before catching them in the act. In addition to capturing the operatives, Hamas agents confiscated equipment and money Israel used to pay its operatives in the spy ring, the ministry claimed.

The spy ring was in direct communication with Israeli intelligence, Hamas said.

Along with the statement, the Hamas Interior Ministry released a propaganda video praising its "men in the arena — the knights of the Interior Ministry."

The Shin Bet security service declined to comment.

This is not the first time Hamas has claimed to arrest Gazook collaborators with Israel. In April, Hamas said that it had arrested a number of Paleostinians who spied for Israel during a wave of protests at the Gaza border fence 2019, according to Arabic-language daily al-Sharq al-Awsat.
Hah! Missed again! There were five if them — all with black hair, dark eyes, and named Mohammed, Muhomad, Mahmoud, Md. Ali, and Ahmed. Two are cousins, but Mossad (or is it Shin Bet? I can never remember which one is the FBI and which the CIA) forgot to write down which ones.
Hamas’s claims come at a time of increased tensions between Israel and the Gaza-based terror group, partially over Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank. The coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
crisis has seen escalating desperation in Gaza, with Hamas unable to pay its employees for the better part of two months.

On Thursday, bigwigs from Hamas and Fatah, the other main Paleostinian faction, held a joint presser where they promised to pursue "all forms of struggle" should Israel proceed with its intended annexation plan.
How uninspired. At least the PA’s Mahmoud Abbas is threatening a third Intifada.
Earlier this week, thousands of Gazooks protested Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank in Hamas-led demonstration in Gaza City. The demonstrators did not march on the border fence, as in the 2019 Great March of Return protests, and avoided contact with Israeli forces, instead proceeding westward towards the sea.

Although so far both parties have avoided a full-blown confrontation, the Israeli Air Force struck multiple Hamas military targets across the Gaza Strip last week after a rocket fired from Gaza landed in Israeli territory.
