Hamas Expands Military Academy

GAZA CITY [MENL] -- Hamas has expanded operations of its military academy
as part of an effort to produce a trained cadre of officers.
The Abdullah Azzam Academy, located in the central Gaza Strip, has
received additional funding and recruits in 2009 in wake of the war with
Israel. The academy, launched in 2006 and located in Nusseirat, was seen as
vital in building an officer corps skilled in combat and leadership.
