Report: Palestinian Fighters Received Training in Lebanon
Hamas and Islamic Jihad members have received training in Lebanon, Syria and Iran and returned to the Gaza strip to train other fighters, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
The newspaper said that Iranian and Syrian experts have also improved the fighting capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants as part of an operation to restructure the force of Palestinian factions that was destroyed during Israel's last aggression on Gaza.
Israeli army intelligence estimates that Hamas is still in the process of improving its capabilities, which means that it is not seeking to enter in a confrontation with Israel.
