Strip, Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, will escalate the situation on the border with Israel, sources in the terror group told Lebanese media on Friday.

With Israel’s approval, Qatar has in recent years distributed hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to enable Gaza’s Hamas rulers to pay for fuel for the Strip’s power plant, pay civil servants, and provide aid to tens of thousands of impoverished families.

Hamas sources told the Lebanese Al Akhbar newspaper that the organization would wait until the end of next week for the money to enter, "and if this does not happen it will take an important decision regarding the mutual ceasefire" that took effect two weeks ago, after 11 days of fighting with Israel.

A senior Hamas official in January said Qatar would be providing $30 million every month, meant for poor families in the Gaza Strip.

Qatar is a key backer of Hamas and has invested some $1.4 billion in the coastal enclave since 2012, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said at a financial conference in St. Petersburg, Russia on Friday.

Al-Thani rejected frequent accusations that the Qatari money goes to the terror organizations in Gaza and argued that Israel knows how the money is transferred, the Ynet news site reported.
Israel figures that since they’re going to destroy Gaza’s war infrastructure in the inevitable next round of fighting, it’ll do no serious harm to let Qatar swan around with their moneybags in the meantime, fondly imagining they’ve pulled the wool over Zionist eyes.
According to the Lebanese report, the group threatened to "use pressure in the border area," and may also resort to options that could "renew the widescale confrontation," without elaborating further.

Israel and Hamas concluded 11 days of fighting last month during which the terror group launched some 4,300 rockets at Israeli cities and towns, and Israel launched hundreds of retaliatory Arclight airstrike

s in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, 253 Paleostinians were killed during the fighting,
... a number that creeps up again each time they dig out another destroyed tunnel...
including 66 children. Paleostinian terror groups in Gaza have said 80 of the total casualties were combatants, while Israel says the true figure is much higher.
...two hundred turbans plus 25 big turbans that Israel saw killed, plus a dozen or so the Gazans have dug up since, which doesn’t leave many real civilians among the acknowledged dead...
Thirteen people in Israel, including a 5-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, were killed. Israel says dozens of the Gaza fatalities were caused by Hamas rockets that fell short and landed inside the Strip.
As I recall, about 10% of those shot off didn’t clear the fence, but I may have misremembered..
Friday’s threats from unnamed officials in the terror group were not the first since the ceasefire began.

A leader of the terror group in Gaza threatened last Wednesday to resume rocket attacks if Israel "violates" the al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, while a front man for Hamas’s armed wing told a crowd of supporters last week that it will respond to any Israeli escalation in kind, after some Israeli officials called for a harsher response to the terror group, including the renewal of liquidations of Hamas leaders.
