Even more iranian involvement: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle3512014.ece He's in the vanguard of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas that will be developing in to a disciplined military, qualified to fight for success rather than be banished to the 'martyr's demise of the suicide bomber. Israel has long insisted that Iran is behind this instruction. The other day Yuval Diskin, the top of the Israeli internal security assistance Shin Bet, said just as much when he stated that Hamas had 'started initially to send individuals to Iran, hundreds and a guarantee of thousands.' No evidence was provided by him. The Hamas leader, nevertheless, verified for the very first time the Iranian Revolutionary Guard continues to be teaching its men in Tehran for a lot more than two-years and happens to be sharpening the abilities of 150 fighters. The facts he gave proposed that, if such a thing, Shin Bet has overlooked the level of Iran's impact on Hamas's increasingly sophisticated techniques and weaponry. Talking on the report but denying his personality like a goal of Israeli forces, the leader, that has a short moustache and oiled black hair, said Hamas have been delivering fighters to Iran for instruction in both field techniques and tools technology since Israeli soldiers pulled out of the Gaza strip of Palestinian property in 2005. The others visit Syria for more basic education. 'We have sent eight 'classes' of our competitors to Iran,' he explained. 'During each program, the team gets instruction he uses to improve our ability to fight.' As coaches them-selves probably the most promising members of every team remain longer for an enhanced program and reunite, he explained. To date, 150 members of Qassam have passed through learning Tehran, where they study for between 4-5 days and 6 months in a closed military base underneath the control of the elite Revolutionary Guard pressure. Of-the extra 150 who are in Tehran now, some may get into Hamas's analysis uni-t when they aren't considered strong enough for fighting. Problems in the bottom are rigid, the leader said. The Palestinians are allowed out just one day per week. Even then, they might keep the bottom only in an organization and with Iranian protection. They store and 'often return with great shoes.' Based on the leader, an additional 650 Hamas practitioners have experienced in Syria under teachers who learned their methods in Iran. Sixty-two have been in Syria today. But what Hamas values most may be the understanding that comes directly from Iran. A few of it had been employed to devastating effect from the militant party Hezbollah against Israeli forces in Lebanon in 2006. 'They come home with increased capabilities that people need,' said the Hamas leader, 'such as for instance high-tech abilities, understanding of land mines and rockets, sniping, and fighting techniques like the ones utilized by Hezbollah, once they could come out-of channels from behind-the Israelis and attack them effectively. 'Those who visit Iran need certainly to declare on the Koran to not disclose facts, to even their parents.' He explained the Hamas military, which numbers about 15,000 practitioners, was modelling itself on Hezbollah. 'We don't have tanks. We don't have airplanes. We're road fighters and we use our very own ways,' he explained. Nodding in agreement was his friend, still another elderly Qassam fighter, from Hamas's production side. Dressed up in a brand new, olive-green uniform, he explained his work required 'cooking' assembling the explosive mixture that Hamas positions in to Qassam rockets. Everybody was working overtime, he added. He also have been out through the night. He said he'd released five mortars and experienced heavy machinegun fire in exchange from lines. The leader was especially pleased with improvements made using Iranian engineering. 'One of the things that's been useful is that they've shown us how you can utilize the most common things we've here and cause them to become into explosives,' he explained. Such engineering have been best of in creating the Qassam bomb and mines used against Israeli tanks. Hamas had only created the Shawas 4, a brand new era of mine, with Iranian knowledge, he added. 'We send our most useful minds to Tehran. It'd be considered a waste of money to deliver them and then have them return with nothing.' They journeyed to Egypt, flew to Syria and, on arrival and departure from Tehran, were allowed through with no press for safety reasons.
