| [IsraelTimes] Military liaison says sanctioned firms 'aided in transporting Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", gunnies and violent rioters to the border' during recent riots Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians announced sanctions on Monday against 14 Gazook transportation companies that bused protesters to demonstrations on the coastal enclave’s border with Israel that at times turned violent. The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of the Government’s Activities in the Territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, said Israel had learned of 14 companies that "aided in transporting Hamas gunnies and violent rioters to the border. As such, sanctions will be imposed on the owners of those companies." The sanctions come after previous Israeli warnings for Gazook bus companies to refrain from driving protesters to the border. "As previously reported, COGAT sent notices to the owners of transportation companies in the Gazoo Strip, warning them not to aid in the transport of Hamas gunnies and violent rioters to the Gazoo Strip border with Israel," Mordechai wrote in a statement. He listed the 14 companies by name in a separate Arabic Facebook post. Addressing the recent demonstrations on the Gazoo border, Mordechai asserted that "the violent riots that have been taking place are fueled by Hamas and are an attempt to mask terror activities." Earlier this month, COGAT released a phone recording purporting to show that Hamas, the terror group that rules the strip, had forced drivers to bring protesters to the protest sites. In the clip of a phone conversation between a COGAT official and a bus company owner, the Israeli security official could be heard warning the Paleostinian against "taking part in terror" by driving Gazooks to the protest as the companies had done the week before. The driver responded by insisting that he and others had heeded Israeli warnings, but that those who refused to comply with Hamas pressure were jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! and replaced by other drivers willing to ferry Paleostinians to the protests. "We are not helping. Hamas came, tossed in the clink Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! us, and filed a complaint against us," he contended. "What are we supposed to do in such a situation?" Hamas said that several owners of bus companies had received the phone calls warning them not to assist in the organization of the protests. The terror group added that Israeli security officers had threatened to take punitive measures against the owners and their companies, including banning them from operating at border crossings with Israel. |
