Members
of a Hamas cell trained in Malaysia to carry out a cross-border attack
using a powered parachute, Hamas suspects have revealed to
interrogators.
On July 21, the IDF arrested a Hamas cell commander in Khan Yunis who was a part of the group’s regional battalion.
The
suspect told Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officers he had trained
in powered parachute attacks, as well as in how to kidnap a soldier. The
training was part of Hamas’s preparations to oppose an IDF ground
offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The
suspect revealed that his cell had trained in setting up anti-tank
missile ambushes and sniper attacks on IDF ground forces. Hamas had
designated the 10th floor of a Red Crescent building in Khan Yunis as a
sniper position, the investigation found.
The
suspect joined Hamas in 2007 and became a part of its military wing,
Izzadin Kassam. His rise through the terrorist army in Gaza reveals the
extent of training Hamas members undergo. He became proficient in the
use of a Kalashnikov automatic rifle in varying shooting positions, and
then joined Hamas’s domestic guard force, where he served in night
shifts.
The
suspect then underwent additional training, mastering a heavy machine
gun, as well as the use of locally produced hand grenades. In 2012, the
Shin Bet said, he joined Hamas’s reserves unit, which was tasked with
special operations during wartime.
In
2013, he joined an elite Hamas cell, received a Kalashnikov to carry
with him at all times, and later trained in the use of M-16 rifles,
rocket-propelled grenades and bombs.
The suspect was taught how to kidnap soldiers, and tunnel warfare.
He was scheduled to train others in the same combat skills this month.
The suspect traveled to Malaysia in 2012, where he and nine other Hamas members learned how to fly a powered parachute.
In
Gaza, the cell members underwent repeated training sessions on how to
fly into Israel and carry out attacks, and were ordered by their Hamas
commanders to keep their training top secret.
If it is true that Malaysia is involved in training a terrorist organization like Hamas, then our MH17 plane got hit by terrorists is like what goes around comes around.
In the past the Umno/BN govt gave or allowed the Abu Sayaf terrorists to train in Sabah and supplied them with weapons to attack the Philippine forces, only to have them now attack us for our kind and generous gesture to them.
And also supplying the Islamic militants in Thailand with arms and training in Kelantan to attack
the Thai govt and people - blowing up people, shooting innocent civilians.
Are we to see more of this???
