Haaretz.com/Channel 10 news brief for July 29, 2008.

Despite the fragile truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Tuesday released footage of its operatives participating in advanced military training exercises in Gaza.

The militants were carrying out maneuvers they had learned in Iran. They held the exercises in the southern Gaza Strip, in the area where the Gush Katif settlement bloc stood before Israel's 2005 pullout.

Also Tuesday, the Popular Resistance Committees militant group released footage showing the production of Qassam rockets and mortar shells in Gaza, weapons that militants had fired at southern Israel from the coastal strip on an almost daily basis until the truce took effect in mid-June.
