Ya’alon: ’Israel’ Preparing for Possibility of War with Hamas

Local Editor

"Israeli" War Minister Moshe Ya'alon said that despite "unprecedented quiet" on Gaza border, the "Israeli" Army knows Hamas is growing in power and rebuilding its tunnels, for which the Zionist forces are readying to combat.

Ya'alon announced Monday that his entity was preparing for the possibility of another war against Hamas in Gaza.

Speaking aboard the American destroyer, USS Carney, currently docking in Haifa while taking part in the joint American-"Israeli" military exercise Juniper Cobra, Ya'alon confessed that: "We've been enjoying unprecedented quiet, Hamas hasn't fired one bullet."

"It's growing in power, we didn't think otherwise," he added.

According to him, "Hamas is trying to arm itself with rockets but it's having difficulties importing [rockets] as it did before and it has to manufacture them. That is why they're conducting all of the tests of firing rockets into the sea."

Ya'alon further claimed that: "There is also a shortage of materials to manufacture rockets with and they're trying to improvise - and of course digging defensive and offensive tunnels, we are not fooling ourselves to think that they aren't."

In more details, he stated that the Zionist forces have been preparing for the possibility that at some point a front will be opened in the south, and we'll have to deal with it."
