Hamas cracks down on Gaza following deadly blasts
[Jpost] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, confirmed on Wednesday evening that jacket wallahs killed three coppers in the 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...
Strip on Tuesday.

Iyad al-Bazm, spokesperson for the Hamas-controlled Ministry of the Interior, which is in charge of the police and security forces in the coastal enclave, said that the identity of the suicide bombers is known to Hamas.

He said that Hamas was continuing its investigation into the attacks, but did not provide further details.

The Hamas spokesperson said that investigations have yet to determine the party responsible for the suicide kabooms.

One of the assailants was riding a cycle of violence and went kaboom! at the police checkpoint near the Dahdouh junction in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, while another person went kaboom! at the Sahel checkpoint, west of Gaza City.

According to local reports, the family of Eslim al Basous, one of the suicide bombers, disowned him and condemned the "cowardly" attacks.

While the family distances themselves from Basous’s actions, they said that he was the "victim" of a conspiracy by "suspicious parties operating against the Paleostinians' national interests."
"Please don't kill us"
According to al-Bazm, significant progress has been achieved in the investigations. He claimed that the interests of those behind the attacks were the same as Israel's, namely instigating unrest and confusion in the Gaza Strip.

Although sources in the Gaza Strip pointed out that the attacks may have been carried out by Paleostinians belonging to Salafi groups, some Hamas officials said they did not rule out the possibility that the rival Fatah faction and Israel were behind the suicide kabooms.

The officials expressed outrage over Fatah's response to the attacks, especially remarks by senior Fatah official Munir al-Jaghoub, who said that the suicide kabooms were not different that terror attacks targeting Fatah members during Hamas's 2007 violent takeover of the Gaza Strip. Mahmoud al-Aloul, deputy chairman of Fatah, hinted that the attacks were the result of Hamas's "pressure" on Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip.

Izzat Risheq, a senior Hamas official, said that the attacks were aimed at stirring unrest and security chaos in the Gaza Strip. "The malicious dream of those who want to create anarchy [in the Gaza Strip] will not be fulfilled," he said. He and several Gaza-based Paleostinian factions accused Israel and "its agents" of being behind the attacks, saying the goal is to undermine stability and spread anarchy" in the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave.‭‮

Meanwhile Egypt has summoned Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
