Hamas: Assisting Zionist enemy will result in confrontation

Hamas says two Palestinians linked to Dubai hit are employed by senior Fatah strongman Dahlan.

By Haaretz Service and Avi Issacharoff The Associated Press Tags: Hamas Israel news

Prominent Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar warned the West on Friday that assisting the "Zionist enemy" will result in confrontation, Israel Radio reported.

During a sermon at a Gaza mosque, Zahar called on the West to forbid Israel from using their land to enter Arab countries and kill Palestinians, as, he claimed, was the case with the assassination of Hamas man Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai last month.

"If the West will allow the Zionist enemy to turn its land into land where Muslim Palestinians are murdered, or leave from it in order to assassinate our men, we will confront it," Zahar said.

Earlier on Friday, Hamas security operative Nahro Massoud denied reports in the Israeli and British media claiming he was arrested in Damascus by Dubai authorities on suspicion that he was involved in assassinating al-Mabhouh.

Massoud told Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV that he was in Abu Dhabi ten days before the murder, and traveled from there to Damascus without being arrested. He went on to suggest that Fatah officials spread the rumor in an attempt to cover up the arrest of two Fatah men by Dubai authorities.

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshal has denied the allegation of Massoud's arrest, saying "It is not correct at all".

Hamas also said on Friday that the two Palestinians arrested in the killing were former members of the rival Fatah movement's security forces with links to senior Fatah's security official Mohammed Dahlan.

Dubai police have said they arrested two Palestinians among 18 suspects in last month's killing, which Hamas believes was carried out by Israel's Mossad. Dubai authorities have not identified the two Palestinians.

Hamas-affiliated Web site Palestine Information Center identified the two as Anwar Shheibar and Ahmad Hassanain.

It claimed Friday that both served in Fatah's security services and now work for a construction company owned by Dahlan. Fatah deny the charges.

On Thursday Haaretz learned that Shheibar and Hassanain were at one time members of the Palestinian Authority's security forces in Gaza, but after Hamas took over the Strip in June 2007, they fled to the West Bank and eventually moved to Dubai.

Hamas claimed that the senior Fatah official in question visited Dubai after the two were arrested and tried to persuade the authorities to release them, but without success.

London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat quoted a senior Hamas official as saying that the two provided logistical aid to the alleged Mossad team by renting cars and hotel rooms for them, among other things.

    Here it is: If what happen in Dubai Mossad is responsible then things will get bad for Isreali citizen. In Iran racently a scients was killed and it was the work of Mossad and now this and in the past they killed Hamas leader in Syria. Kelly last night for a change I watched TV and what do I see? The highjacking of the American plane No:847!Riveting ad frightening.It was the Hizballah's terrorists who's PROXIE even than WAS IRAN. So yourave feeling of Hamas?perhaps Syra very likely too for after all they are the proxies of the first.When we discussing other matters(here or elsewhere)Methinks we have known that the finger OF IRAN has been present going back to at least 20+years ago. Therefore it should not surprise us.(date of the [highjack]during Pres'Reagans tenure and troubles with Iran. I think this subject should be put to rest.It is getting TOO BORING. I still maintain:Mossad would never use such stupid means and DO SUCH A BOTHCHED JOB.

    Dahlan: Fatah never recognized Israel
    • Dahlan = Hamas

    http://jta.org/news/article/2009/03/18/1003800/dahlan-fatah-never-recognized-israel Dahlan: Fatah never recognized Israel March 18, 2009 NEW YORK (JTA) -- A longtime Fatah leader says the organization has never recognized Israel's right to exist. Mohammed Dahlan, the former Fatah security commander, made the remarks during an interview with a Palestinian Authority-controlled television station. Dahlan was responding to a question about Fatah's reported insistence that Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist as a precondition for the establishment of a Palestinian "unity government," according to The Jerusalem Post. Dahlan, who was recently tapped to serve as an adviser to Fatah's leader, P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas, acknowledged that the PLO -- an umbrella organization of Palestinian groups that has been headed by Fatah's leader -- did recognize Israel. "We acknowledge that the PLO did recognize Israel's right to exist, but we are not bound by it as a resistance faction," he said. Dahlan hails from the Gaza Strip, where Fatah is in an uphill battle to wrest political control and popular support away from Hamas.

They are constantly making horrible mistakes, and this is the cherry on top. How in the hell are you going to carry out such a poorly executed mission? Did they even think this through? This is truly comical.

Let me tell you that, in my opinion, there just exist idiots who pretend that Arabs and Jews will never be able to secure mutual aid for one another. Let me tell you that, in my opinion, there just exist idiots who pretend that war between Israel and the surrounding Arab countries is unavoidable for ever. But let me tell you that there also exist here and there on this earth a raising number of sensible people who proclaim to the whole world this cry of hope : " Nevermore, Nevermore, Nevermore..." !

    Since Hamas has declared its intention to attack ("confront") any country that helps Israel ("the Zionist enemy"), pro-Hamas activity in the US by "Arab-Americans" and Arab students, including fund-raising for Gaza "charities" like the now shut-down "Holyland Foundation", now is not merely illegal, but rises to the level of treason, no different than aiding and abetting Al-Qaidah. About time - America knows who was filmed cheering and tossing candy when the Twin Towers fell on 9-11, and you didn't have to travel to Gaza to witness that, you could see it in Dearborn, Michigan, too.

    Michael its obvious these two individual betrayal were bought and paid for by the Israeli government. I've noticed that Abbas has been very quiet lately and I'm sure he knows the repurcussions if and when Hamas can prove that he gave these two individuals the blessing to do what they did. The chances of Gaza reconciling with the West Bank if this turns out to be the case is pretty much over for years if not ever. Gaza might as well declare itself an independant state.

    each and every one of the 18 or so are suspects, and suspects only, not more and not less; everything else is specualtion, disinformation, pure hate or adulation, your pick.

    The bottom line is that a terrorist, murderer and weapon smuggler whose actions could have killed hundreds of innocent people in the future has been eliminated!! Stop treating this guy as a "VICTIM", he wasn`t in Dubai to sell and buy camels. He was acquiring weapons.

    Hey Dubaiman - your police chief is screaming calling for the arrest of Mossad chief Dagan by Interpol. really? and your so-called government encourages murderers such as Mahbouh to travel freely in Dubai, stay in luxury hotels buy weapons for Hamas to kill others and Interpol is not placed on alert?

    It can easily be Fatah ...completely on their own. Fatah/ PA have been on the outs with one another since Hamas became a political power. They hate one another and figh each other behind the scenes. They cannot even come to some kind of power sharing agreement. As far as I am concerned if the Mossad was involved, the involvement was reversed. Information only. The actual lkilling was probably done by the Palestinians.

    Mohammed Dahlan spent several years in Israeli prison and was head of a big Palestinian security force. I don't believe he or his men would particpate in a MOssad operation like this one. Don't believe all what's written and said in media. (Thanks Olivia)

    A Hamas operative reported to be detained by Syria over the killing. Was he also working for Dahlan? All we have so far is endless speculation. Boring. Very boring. I prefer to wait for some hard evidence.

    What mona and othr israelis and pro-israelis don't seem to accept is the fact that traitors are to be found wherever you look, in every community out there including the israeli one. But instead these people change into another anti-semite labelling game were they villify you by falsely labelling you an ''anti-semite'' for merely criticising zionism. Either way, the investigations aren't concluded yet and I believe won't be as the murderous criminal Mossad will get away with it thanks to the inept ''international community''.

    good for the gander. Or is it that Dubai thinks that it has a unique right to arrest Palestinians who commit crimes on its soil, whereas Israel, for some OBSCURE reason that only they can understand, does not have that same right?
