Hamas in Gaza (merged thread)

[SWJED]

MERMI - TV (H/T Little Green Footballs) - Hamas 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades - Training and Ideology (video) and transcript.

Here’s a look at the war preparations of Hamas that aired on Al Jazeera on July 4th, 2006, boasting about the capabilities of Hamas’s hardcore terrorist unit, the Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. JihadTV shows us the terrorists building tunnels, making grenades, launching Qassam rockets, mixing explosives, and manufacturing RPGs, and there are interviews with various soldiers and commanders including Muhammad Al-Deif (recently injured in an IAF airstrike), “General Commander” and Ahmad Al-Ja’bari, “Most Prominent Al-Qassam Brigades commander.” (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

I would also recommend researching one of their former commanders and head bomber maker - Yehiya Ayyash for further insights.
