IDF - Hamas in Gaza fights like Hizb'allah

The "Palestinian" Hamas terrorists in southern Israel's Gaza Strip have learned from the Lebanese Hizb'allah to the north of Israel how to wage war against the Jewish state.

This is according to the Israel Defense Forces, which Wednesday withdrew from Gaza after completing a military operation against Hamas there in order to prevent terrorist attacks on Israelis

At least 11 terrorists were killed, 25 people were injured, a number of homes used in terrorist activity were demolished and 120 terror suspects were arrested, reported Ynetnews.

The fighting was described as fierce, and IDF sources said the terrorists were equipped with "advanced" weapons and radio transmitters. Anti-tank missiles and "suicide" explosive belts were confiscated.

Ynetnews compared Hamas' fighting style to that employed by Hizb'allah.

Hizb'allah was established and is sponsored by Iran. A number of "Palestinians" are believed to have traveled from Gaza to Iran for training.
