JERUSALEM [MENL] -- Hamas' interior minister has been identified as the new
leader of insurgency operations in Israel and the West Bank.
The Israel Security Agency said Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hamad was
relaying orders for attacks in the West Bank in wake of the mini-war with
the Islamist regime in November 2012. Officials said Hamad was believed to
have taken much of the authority of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari,
killed in an Israeli strike during the eight-day conflict that ended with an
Egyptian-sponsored ceasefire.
