Israel’s Interrogation of Captured Gazan Infiltrators Reveal Hamas’ Strategy

Israel Rising


. . . "Salim Abu Daher, 21, a resident of the Gaza Strip, was arrested on 28 April 2018 upon infiltrating into Israel in order to burn fields and groves. Officials learned the following from Salim:
1. Hamas is financing the violent action in the framework of which kite-borne firebombs are sent toward Israeli territory.
2. Hamas members in civilian clothing circulate among violent activists and supply gasoline for the kite-borne firebombs which are designed to ignite and burn Israeli fields.
"Other detainees revealed the following:
1. Hamas encourages children and young people to cross the fence.
2. Hamas militants in civilian clothes encourage children to try and cross the fence in order to steal IDF equipment.
"This resulted in an event on May 4th in which a 13-year-old youth was wounded while taking part in an attempt to infiltrate into Israeli territory in order to steal a security camera at Karni Crossing, east of Gaza City." . . .
