IDF: Hamas Using Cease-Fire to Beef Up Arsenal, Forces
[Ha'aretz] Gideon Alon - "In another few months, in the Gaza Strip we will have to deal with military capabilities of the terror organizations that we haven't been familiar with until now, especially in the realm of anti-tank missiles," Brig.-Gen. Sami Turjeman, who heads the operations directorate in the IDF General Staff, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday. There has also been a significant improvement in the terror groups' capabilities regarding sniping and defense, he said. The head of the Military Intelligence research department, Brig.-Gen. Yossi Beidetz, said the threat from Gaza will be significantly greater a year from now because Hamas is using the cease-fire to strengthen its forces.
