Hamas terrorists in Gaza played war Monday, carrying out exercises in a fig-tree grove during which they fired assault rifles and shoulder-launched grenades at a target they hope will soon be Israelis.
The Islamist group, which took control of the Gaza Strip in a bloody coup last June, is believed to be preparing to repel an IDF attack on the Strip.
Israel's government is under pressure to deal with Hamas as Kassam rockets rain down relentlessly on Jewish communities near Gaza.
According to a report by the Associated Press the terrorists, wearing black ski-masks, opened fire on a house which suddenly exploded.
Immediately, the Arabs prostrated themselves, singing out praises to Allah - the Moon-god of Arabia to whom these Muslim killers have dedicated their lives.
"Allahu akhbar" ("Allah is greater!") they cried, employing the traditional war cry of their religion, which tells them that Israel is ultimately fated to fall to the forces of Islam.
In their belief the so-called Christian nations - chief among them the United States - are likewise destined to succumb to Allah.
