| PFLP-GC Chief Says Syria, Iran, Hezbollah Armed Hamas |

| [IsraelTimes] The head of a Paleostinian terrorist group told a Lebanese news outlet that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, has received arms and training from Syria, Iran and Hezbollah. PFLP-GC Secretary-General Ahmad Jibril spoke to Leb's Al-Manar TV on July 17 and said that the Islamist terror group controlling the Gazoo Strip has received "a lot of help both in the scientific sense and in transferring weapons and equipment" from Tehran and its allies in Damascus and Leb. "After 2008, hundreds of our young people left the Gazoo Strip for Syria, Leb, and Tehran, to train and to learn how to improve these weapons," Jibril said referring to Hamas's missiles. "Allah be praised, these weapons indeed were improved." In the interview, translated by MEMRI, Jibril described the route by which arms were smuggled from Syria to the blockaded Gazoo Strip, explaining that the armed from Iran can't be transferred by the Persian Gulf because it "is under surveillance." "We transferred [the missiles] from the airports in Damascus to Khartoum, from Khartoum to Port Sudan, and from there to the Sinai. From the Sinai, they were transferred via tunnels to the Gazoo Strip," the Paleostinian faction leader explained. "The brothers in Hezbollah established cells of Bedouin and so on in the Sinai Desert. You could transfer the weapons to them, and they would get them into Gazoo." Israel intercepted an arms shipment earlier this year in the Red Sea which the IDF said was destined for Hamas via Iran, Syria and Sudan. A US official and two Middle East analysts postulated that the arms shipment may have been bound for Sinai rather than the Gazoo Strip. Israeli Naval commandos intercepted 40 M-302 missiles, 181 122-mm mortars, and 400,000 7.62 caliber rounds in the arms cache on the ship while it was sailing off the coasts of Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... and Sudan. |
