(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas revealed over the weekend the identities of the commanders of its armed wing, Izzaddin Kassam, in a move seen by many Palestinians as another challenge to the PA. Hamas distributed 250,000 free copies of a bulletin called Fajr al-Intisar [Dawn of Victory], whose front cover features a Hamas gunman standing on the rubble of a settlement and bloodstained bodies of IDF soldiers, hoisting the movement's green flag. Izzaddin Kassam commander Muhammed Deif was quoted as saying, "We will respond to any attack, whether from the authority or from the Israelis."
