Hamas and Gaza Strip – very weird stuff?


Here is the mainstream reporting: Hamas is firing rockets into Israel, and the latter is responding with strikes by its world-class air force. In recent days, I have heard weird stories that put lie to the reporting. Fog of War, yes, but if even some of what I have heard is true, we need to rethink.
  • Most of the rockets are being fired by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Units in the Gaza Strip, and therefore not under Hamas control.
  • The make and model of the rockets are Fajr 5, manufactured in Iran.
  • The missile firing infrastructure of Hamas is actually built by Hezbollah, as Hamas does not have the native engineering capability.
  • Any truce must take direct Iranian participation into account.
  • IRGC are rapidly running out of rockets, and Hezbollah and Iran are 'furiously' trying to resupply the Fajr 5, hence the pending truce along with a hope of a lifting of the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
  • Hezbollah has stated that it has the better part of 10,000 rockets of longer range than the Fajr 5 aimed at Israel, to be launched the second Israeli ground troops and armor make their move.
  • The leader of Hamas is a hot-head, and prone to making temperamental demands he knows have no chance of being satisfied. Perhaps a bit of child psychology would be in order.
Ummm...OK.
If you have any insight, I would appreciate hearing from you. Sound off below.
