Hamas Using US Weapons To Kill Israelis
According to Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip, most of the gunmen who have been fighting the IDF over the past few days are members of Hamas's armed wing, Izaddin Kassam. "At least 2,000 Hamas gunmen have been deployed in the northern Gaza Strip to take part in the fighting," the sources told The Jerusalem Post. The sources estimated that Izaddin Kassam has at least 15,000 members divided into four brigades in the Gaza Strip. They added that the Hamas gunmen were using many American-made arms seized from the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority security forces in June.
And right on schedule, the US is giving Fatah more than $5 billion in new weapons and assistance - just as Hamas looks poised to roll over the West Bank. And the awesome thing about this whole disgrace? Even if Hamas doesn't sieze Fatah's US-supplied weapons, Abbas says that they'll turn them on the Israelis anyway.
