Hamas terrorist activities has a new stronghold in the the former Israeli territory. This development was feared when the Gaza was given over to the Palestine Authority
The Palestinian Authority has admitted in an official document published last month that parts of Gush Katif, the former Jewish communities of Gaza, are now "training camps" for terror groups.
In an exclusive story in October, WND reported Hamas has turned Neve Dekalim, the former capital of Gush Katif, into a "martyrs training camp," and has used the territory to fire rockets into Israel.
Palestinian Interior Minister Nasser Yousef toured Gaza's former Jewish communities and detailed a PA plan to bring security to the area. Since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in August, the land that comprised Gush Katif has been the scene of regular internal Palestinian clashes.
Early in November, officials placed barbed wire around Neve Dekalim, as well as signs posted in Arabic which describe the neighborhood as a "closed military zone."
Senior Hamas sources told WND the group transformed Dekalim into a "military training camp for martyrs," boasting that several Qassam rockets have been fired from the former Jewish capital into nearby Israeli Negev towns.
Hamas has taken credit for Israel's Gaza withdrawal and has become a formidable force in the area. It swept local municipal elections, and analysts expect the terror group to do well in upcoming Palestinian parliamentary elections.
