| Hamas Aims To Open Naval Military Academy In Gaza | |
| 2013-09-10 | |
[Jpost] Interior minister says school would be part of police academy and will "benefit the society in civilian...affairs."
He said that the new institution, which would be part of the police academy, would be an "extension of all marine sciences which benefit the society in civilian and other affairs." This is the first time that Hamas has talked about opening a naval academy in the Gaza Strip. Before the Islamist party seized control over the coastal enclave in 2007, the Palestinian Authority had a small police force in the area. The Palestinians do not have their own naval force or warships. Israel maintains a naval blockade that extends six nautical miles (11.1 km.) into the Mediterranean for security concerns. Recently, Egyptian forces shot at and wounded two Palestinian fisherman and detained five others, an example of a breakdown of ties between Hamas and the military government of Cairo following the ousting of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. Hammad said that Hamas is also planning to build a large prison on a 14 hectare-area in the Gaza Strip. He said the new prison would include rehabilitation and correction centers, as well as various agricultural projects. The Hamas official said that his ministry would pave the way for inmates to work inside and outside the new prison. "Our goal is to rehabilitate and correct all inmates so that they would become constructive, rather than destructive, tools for our society," he explained. | |

| #4 I am the sultan of the sea, I rule the al-Qassam Navee, Who will prey on Joos from leaky boats. And we are his brothers and his cousins and his goats! And we are his brothers and his cousins and his goats! And they are his brothers and his cousins and his goats! I spend my time in Gaza port, The Islamist seaside resort, Where I sun-bathe wearing frilly petticoats. And so do his brothers and his cousins and his goats! And so do his brothers and his cousins and his goats! But when the fleet sets sail, I am to smart to brave the gale, But I'll entertain the press with salty anecdotes. And so will his brothers and his cousins and his goats! And so will his brothers and his cousins and his goats! Diplomatic repercussions, And the ongoing discussions, With his goats! to be cont'd |
