Fatah operatives aiding Israel with targeting info

It's a strange world, but there you have it. I've [a writer for the Atlantic] been talking to friends of mine, former Palestinian Authority intelligence officials (ejected from power by the Hamas coup), and they tell me that not only are they rooting for the Israelis to decimate Hamas, but that Fatah has actually been assisting the Israelis with targeting information.

#5  Abbas is an impotent, directionless leader, but he was taking the PA in a better direction than Arafat.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend I guess.

#4  They would have had a piss poor shockingly deficient HUMINT exploitation program if no one were conducting such operations. I suspect a parallel effort has been ongoing in Dinnerjacketland (the real target) for quite some time. I'm sure the IDF is hoping Iran will take the bait and do something entirely stupid.

#2  Well he seems surprised. Probably why he's a writer for The Atlantic.
