Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in Gazoo for allegedly disclosing information to Israel on the whereabouts of Muhammad Deif, the elusive commander of the terror group's military wing, during the war in Gazoo last summer. Israeli intelligence sources believe that Deif was likely killed in an August 19, 2014, A bigwig in the terror group who was one of Deif's close associates, Muhammad Rashid Shitawi, was apprehended by Hamas on Sunday and questioned in connection with the allegations, Channel 2 reported. According to Hamas, Shitawi received a phone call from Deif on August 19, at the height of the war, who asked him to bring his family to Shitawi's house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gazoo city. After Shitawi, whom Hamas alleged was an agent of Israel's Shin Bet security service, acquiesced to Deif's request, he immediately contacted his handlers and informed them of Deif's precise location. That enabled Israel to launch the Shitwai was also being investigating for a bungled weapons sale to the terror group 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... , Hamas said in a statement. Deif has been wanted by Israel since the early 1990s for allegedly orchestrating terror attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis. Israeli officials believe he was coordinating Hamas's movements during the summer's conflict as head of its military wing. Three other senior members of the military wing's command hierarchy were killed in an Israeli strike a day after the attack on Deif's hideout. Deif survived at least four previous liquidation attempts since 2002, after being appointed military commander following the death of his predecessor, Salah Shehade. Prior to last summer's strike, he was believed to be paralyzed from previous attempts on his life. In August, Hamas front man Abu Obeida vehemently denied that Deif was killed in the strike, noting that Israel was "unable to get to our commander Deif," who will soon "lead the army that will enter to liberate the holy al-Aqsa mosque" in Jerusalem. | |
