(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Hamas asked the Turkish IHH organization for advanced mapping programs to improve rocket attacks on Israel, especially on strategic sites, the investigation of Muhammad Murtaja, coordinator of the Gaza branch of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency, revealed. Hamas used Google maps to fire more than 4,000 rockets to hit Israeli targets, but in most cases the rockets were either intercepted or missed their targets. Murtaja said he was supposed to fly to Turkey to receive detailed maps of various sites in Israel, based on Turkish technological data acquired following Turkey's involvement in a satellite launch project. Murtaja also said in his interrogation that he witnessed the transfer of suitcases laden with cash from the IHH (which was responsible for the 2010 Gaza flotilla) to senior Hamas officials, including Raed Salah, Ismail Radwan and Ismail Haniyeh.
