Top Hamas Engineer Tells All
(Ynet News) Ilana Curiel - Hamas engineer Dirar Abu Sisi provided interrogators with priceless information on Hamas' modus operandi and the terror group's readiness for a clash with Israel. According to interrogation excerpts cleared for publication Thursday by the Beersheba District Court, following Israel's 2009 Gaza military operation Abu Sisi was put in charge of establishing Hamas' new military academy. "An analysis of the war with Israel was undertaken. It found that a large number of Hamas activists ran away from their positions. A failure occurred in decision-making coupled with an inability to use arms during the battle - because of fear," he said. "A program of study had to be created in order to improve the situation." Selected graduates of the academy reached military academies in foreign countries, he said, including Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Iran.
