| Hamas’s deployment at the Gaza border carries echoes of South Lebanon | |
| 2016-12-26 | |
At approximately 3:30 on a recent afternoon, one could see, with the unaided eye, three white pickup trucks belonging to Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", arrive at a lookout point on the Gazoo side of the border with Israel. In army language, their convoy is known as a "commanders’ patrol": This was a group of Hamas officers on a tour of their positions, checking to see that the troops were alert and prepared for any possibility of escalation. There were 13 members of the patrol in all, in black uniforms, climbing up to an observation post where armed Hamas troops keep constant watch on Israel. | |
