The Militants behind Gaza's Tire Unit
(GroundBrief) Joe Truzman - Amid the constant clashes at the Israel-Gaza border is the Palestinian "Tire Unit," made up of young men whose tactics include delivering tires to the border to light on fire, removal of barbed wire at the security fence, and throwing rocks, firebombs, and grenades. At first glance, the unit appears to be made up of ordinary Palestinians, but a detailed look into their members revealed a structured command made up of militants belonging to various factions. Their leader is Mustafa Mousa Zaqout, who heads the Abd Al-Qader Husseini Brigades, a militant group in Gaza affiliated with Fatah.
