Hamas Speak With Forked-Tongue

This today:

The military wing of Hamas claimed responsibility on Wednesday for three mortar shells which struck Israel earlier in the morning. The shells fell near the border fence in the Sha’ar Hanegev region and caused no injuries or damage.


And this just other day:

The leader of the militant Palestinian group Hamas said Monday that its fighters had stopped firing rockets at Israel for now.


And what happened in between?

First this was in the works:

Egyptian security forces discovered on Monday a new tunnel used for smuggling foodstuffs at the border with the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip


and this, too:

A Palestinian young man was killed on Saturday evening after a tunnel, dug under the borders between the Gaza Strip and Egypt and used for smuggling, collapsed, medics and security sources said.


Then, on May 2, we had this:

Israeli warplanes bombed tunnels beneath the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt Saturday killing two Palestinians, after militants fired several mortars at Israel from the coastal territory, medical workers said.


So, they are not truly firing missiles.

They are just smuggling them in to store them for future use and they are just firing mortar shell, not missiles.

Hamas for you.
