Israel Foils Hamas Attempt to Build Base in South Lebanon for Attacks
(Jerusalem Post) Yossi Melman - On Jan. 14, 2018, senior Hamas operative Mohamed Hamdan's car blew up in Sidon, Lebanon. Hamdan survived but lost a leg. Reliable Western intelligence sources told me that Hamdan was responsible for the Hamas plan to build a "post" in South Lebanon and he was targeted in order to foil his efforts. The plan can be called "Hamas' northern front" - to establish in South Lebanon a secret infrastructure and launching pad for attacks against Israel. Hamdan planned to assemble a substantial number of rockets to be fired at Israel sometime in the future. Western intelligence sources assume that despite the fact that Hamdan was not killed, "the message was understood" and the Hamas plan has been foiled.
