Hamas Leader Calls for Lebanon, Syria Branches to Attack Israel
A senior Hamas leader called Wednesday for the formation of Palestinian militant groups loyal to his Gaza-based Islamist movement in refugee camps in Lebanon and Syria for attacks on Israel.
Mahmud Zahar told reporters in the Gaza Strip that Lebanese and Syrian branches of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' armed wing, should launch attacks on Israel "to help us liberate Palestine".
He also denied "any interference" by Hamas in Egypt, which last month declared the Brigades a terrorist group and accused it of aiding a spate of militant attacks on security personnel in the restive Sinai Peninsula.
"Our guns are always trained on the enemy," Zahar said, referring to Israel.
Hamas and Israel fought a 50-day war in mid-2014 that killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 73 on the Israeli side, most of them soldiers.

all qatar is good for is arming and funding sick extremists to slaughter syrians, iraqis and lebanese, but they never did anything to help the arab cause.

And most Lebanese call for Lebanon to rid these sh*tty camps leveled and cleared from our soil. If the Palestos want to fight Israel, fair enough, let them all go and fight Israel, but NOT from Lebanon, now they have even better options, Syria is now a free for all. If the Palestos really love their land, let them go and fight it off with Israel, but NOT in Lebanon, and now the time has come for us to reclaim those prime lands given to build such vermin infested camps, we want them all back, and we want them Palestos all out of Lebanon.
