| [IsraelTimes] Though it is trying to warm up to Cairo, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, also cooperating with jihadists waging insurgency in Sinai, Yoav Mordechai tells Saudi website Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters have recently arrived in the Gazoo Strip to train with their Hamas counterparts, a senior IDF official said in an Arabic interview published Friday. The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai told the Saudi news website Elaph that IS members entered the Gazoo Strip from the Sinai Peninsula through smuggling tunnels maintained and controlled by Hamas. The fighters entered the Hamas-controlled territory in coordination with Sa’id Abed al-A’al, a resident of the Gazoo Strip city of Rafah connected to Hamas, he said. Mordechai, the head of the Defense Ministry body responsible for the Israeli border crossings with the Gazoo Strip and Civil Administration in the West Bank, said the military cooperation between the Islamic State and Hamas is unfolding with the full knowledge and consent of Hamas’s leaders. According to the report, Hamas members have also treated maimed IS bully boyz who entered the Strip from the Sinai Peninsula. In an effort to help combat the Islamic State in Egypt, the US Embassy in Cairo said Friday that Egypt has received its first shipment of armored vehicles designed to protect soldiers from roadside kabooms. The embassy said in a statement that the first batch of 762 MRAP (Mine Resistance Ambush Protected) vehicles was delivered Thursday, and is aimed at helping to "combat terrorism and promote stability in the region." While Hamas "tries to draw closer to Egypt, it’s connecting with the Islamic State and with the Moslem Brüderbund," Mordechai said, referring to the outlawed Islamic party whose president Mohammed Morsi briefly ruled Egypt before being deposed in 2013. Hamas has apparently tried to distance itself from the Islamic State and Iran with the hope that Cairo would loosen its blockade on the Gazoo Strip. But according to Haaretz, reports pointing to ties between Hamas leaders and terrorist groups operating against Egypt in the Sinai are causing the group embarrassment. Paleostinian sources quoted by the paper say that while Hamas leaders have adopted a policy of increasing ties with Egypt, there are still bigwigs who are unwilling to break free of Iran and Salafi groups that can also serve as a source of income. Hamas is also under pressure from the Saudi royal family to cut all ties with Iran, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s enemy. |
