Palestinian security officials in the Gaza Strip maintain they have uncovered a secret network of the military wing of Hamas that is dedicated to attacking Israel and weakening the Palestinian Authority.
The head of the Palestinian Authority’s Preventive Security Service in Gaza, Mohammad Dahlan, was quoted as describing the network as more dangerous than a group of Hamas fugitives wanted by both Israeli and Palestinian police.
Most members of the network were unknown, and some had the right to enter Israel, he added.
He promised additional details when his security service’s investigation was completed.
