(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - A senior security official said Tuesday that Hamas continued to receive 70% of its funding from non-government organizations in Saudi Arabia. The official also noted that Palestinian Security Minister Mohammed Dahlan's efforts to take over the terror organizations in the West Bank were meeting with only partial success. The official predicted that the cease-fire (hudna) would last longer than the agreed three months. However, IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon said Tuesday that the army was preparing itself for the possibility of another wave of violence, which could erupt if the Palestinian leadership did not take any action against terror. Ya'alon said that it was possible there would be a temporary lull in the violence, but added that he has started to count the days until the next outbreak of violence.
