Hamas Upgrading Naval Commando Unit: We Are At Open War

Local Editor

While Hamas started upgrading its naval commando unit, the Palestinian movement's leader said ‘Israel' has 'settled the score' with Mazan Fukha, a released detainee who was shot last week in a mysterious assassination.

Following the assassination of Fukha, Khaled Mashal threatened on Monday that Hamas was in an open war against the criminal enemy.

"The enemy has uprooted a hero from our heroes in Gaza," Mashal said during a memorial ceremony for Fukha in a speech broadcast to Al-Qubaisa Square in Gaza City from Qatar.

Meanwhile, as tensions are rising and the blockades of the Gaza Strip are being enforced, Hamas is investing additional resources in equipment and weaponry for their naval commando unit in preparation for the next round of fighting with ‘Israel.'

Hamas has begun upgrading its naval commando unit as part of a general buildup of armaments in preparation for the next round of expected fighting with the occupation forces.

In addition to frequent diving training along Gaza's coast, Hamas has begun producing its own diving systems in light of tunnel closures along the Egyptian border. The closed breathing system allows divers to remain underwater for several kilometers, while maintaining a low signature and few identifying signs.
