“Hamas set off massive Gaza blast”
The headline is a bit misleading, as if they intended to blowedup their own operational base. Lets us check the details!
“Members of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades were trying to prepare for a Jihad operation,” the Hamas movement’s armed wing said in a statement.” Can you say incompetence? I knew you could!
Just a little different from their initial statement,“Hamas had initially blamed the explosion on an Israeli air strike and responded with rocket fire, but Israel denied any involvement.”. Kinda hard to take back a statement made with Katusha and Al Qassam rockets, wouldn’t you say.
