Video of Hamas fighters training in West Bank unsettles Israel
Hamas has released a video of its fighters training in Jenin that's been taken as a message that they will soon resume operations in the West Bank.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released a video Sept. 3 showing its fighters carrying out military exercises in Jenin.
The video, which was widely circulated on local media outlets and social networking sites, features a group of al-Qassam fighters conducting military exercises with light weapons. The rare sight of the scarf and banner of al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank put the Palestinian Authority and its security services on high alert and led to a campaign of arrests in Jenin.
