Meet Iran's new Gaza terror group
  • 9 years ago
Iran has launched a new Shi'ite terrorist group in Gaza, in an apparent attempt to extend its regional hegemony in a similar fashion to its activities in Lebanon via its terror proxy Hezbollah - the new group even has the same emblem as Hezbollah.
Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh revealed details about the new terror group on Wednesday, in an article published on the Gatestone Institute website.
The new group, the Al-Sabireen  Movement For Supporting Palestine, which ran afoul of a nervous Hamas back in July, already has around 400 members in Gaza, reports Abu Toameh.
Al-Sabireen has been active in Gaza for several months, but it made its first major ripple two weeks ago when one of its top commanders, Ahmed Sharif Al-Sarhi, was shot dead by IDF snipers .
"Two weeks ago, unidentified assailants stabbed and moderately wounded Salem shortly after he gave a newspaper interview in the northern Gaza Strip," revealed the journalist.
