Armed Palestinian Factions Use Calm with Israel to Train New Fighters
[Asharq Alawsat-UK] Saleh al Naeimi - Shortly after nightfall in Gaza, the sound of heavy fire can be heard, while minutes later, tens of men belonging to the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, are seen moving fast in columns in the street with their full military gear. Since the calm agreement between Israel and Hamas came into play, Palestinian resistance factions have taken advantage of the ceasefire by conducting military training for their recruits. Military exercises are being conducted inside Palestinian residential areas that are close to the border areas, without approaching the contact lines with the Israeli army.
