15,000 young Gazans complete Hamas terror training camps
2015-02-01
[IsraelTimes] Recruits aged 15 and up taught how to kidnap soldiers, use weapons, and infiltrate into Israel through tunnels
Always good to have lots of cannon fodder...
Thousands of recruits as young as 15 learned how to kidnap soldiers, use weapons, and infiltrate into Israel though tunnels at a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, paramilitary training camp in Gazoo.

On Thursday, some 15,000 Gazook teenagers and young men graduated from the week-long training camps, called the "Pioneers of Liberation."

The 15-21-year-olds underwent military training for the armed wing of Hamas, Izaddin al-Qassam, six months after Hamas and other Gazoo terror groups fought a 50-day war against Israel.

Drills included weapons training and exercises simulating kidnapping IDF soldiers and infiltration into Israel through tunnels. Portraits of Israeli leaders were used in target practice for sniper training.

"We are participating in the camp so that we will know how to fight the Zionist enemy and regain our ancestral home of Paleostine," one teenager said, in footage from the training camps screened on Israel's Channel 2 TV on Thursday night.

Thursday's graduation ceremony in Gazoo City was attended by Hamas big turban Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, the former Gazoo prime minister. The Islamist terror group, which is committed to the destruction of Israel, took control of Gazoo in 2007.

According to a Hamas spokesperson, high demand for the camp for forced organizers to expand the program and make logistical changes to accommodate all of the participants.

"They train us to be a jihad fighter for Allah, to liberate Paleostine from the defilement of the Zionist occupations, and to be ready for our upcoming Independence, Allah willing," another young participant said.

Hamas organizes military-style camps for young recruits each year, but this was the first time its military wing hosted the training at its bases, the TV report said.

The al-Qassam Brigades is estimated to have 20,000-25,000 fighters in its ranks. Some 2,000 Gazooks were killed in the summer war; Israel said most were Hamas and other gunnies, and blamed Hamas for all civilian fatalities since it emplaced its rocket launchers and cross-border tunnel openings in Gazoo residential areas. Seventy-three people were killed in Israel. Hamas fired over 4,500 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, and staged several attacks through the tunnels.

#1  The highest aspiration of the Gazan is to become a terrorist? I guess it takes too long to become a physician, engineer, teacher or something otherwise useful. At some point the West will turn on the jihadists--just not until after the next U.S. Note the recent protest signs in Texas. Got to love Texas.
