Hamas is taking advantage of a cease-fire with Israel in order to step up training activities, Ynet reported July 27, citing Yuval Diskin, director of Israeli security agency Shin Bet. Since the truce began, Hamas has moved four tons of explosives, 50 anti-tank missiles, light weapons and materials for making Qassam rockets into the Gaza Strip, Diskin said. Hamas has also brought in cement, which is thought to be intended for building bunkers, he added. Diskin said Hamas has completed the first phase in constructing “institutions” to prepare for taking control of all the Palestinian territories.
