IDF Has Infiltrated Hamas' Military Wing


Wow. Israel's IDF has successfully planted operatives in Hamas' military wing also known as Izzadin Kassam. Hamas has even admitted that this has happened although they have tried to dismiss it as Fatah members who have been responsible, but it appears now that Hamas has truly admitted this embarassment.
I can't help but chuckle over this. And in the end, I hope it causes all of Hamas to be enveloped in paranoia and that they will begin feeding on their own.

Here's the full story.


PA official: IDF has infiltrated Izzadin Kassam

Israel has managed to infiltrate Hamas's armed wing, Izzadin Kassam, by recruiting some of its members as "collaborators," Palestinian Authority security officials revealed Sunday.

Hamas officials confirmed that their security forces had arrested several "collaborators," but denied that they belonged to the Islamist movement.
This is the first time Hamas has openly admitted that Israel's security forces have succeeded in planting agents in its secretive armed wing. If true, it would be the largest network of "collaborators" that has ever been busted by Hamas.
The case has seriously embarrassed Hamas, whose spokesmen have tried to distance themselves from the suspects by claiming that they are former Fatah policemen.
Ironically, Hamas's admission came less than 24 hours after Minister-without-Portfolio Ami Ayalon, a former head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), said that "intelligence failure" was preventing the IDF from rescuing kidnapped IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Schalit

Ahmed and Yakoub Nassar reportedly confessed to helping Israel, together with other Hamas members, in the assassination of at least six top Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives in the Gaza Strip over the past two years.
