HAMAS USES LULL TO STOCK UP

Hamas Uses Lull to Stock Up - Arieh O'Sullivan (Jerusalem Post)
Even as it announced it would maintain the current relative calm, Hamas was using the lull in Israel's offensive actions to stock up on Kassam rockets, mines, and mortar shells in the Gaza Strip, defense sources said Sunday. Hamas was working at a heightened pace in metal workshops to produce more weaponry, to be better prepared for an outbreak of hostilities if and when the de facto cease-fire breaks down. "Not only that, but they are continuing to operate their smuggling rings during this period to bring in weapons and other materiel," despite reported PA actions to uncover tunnels from Egypt into Gaza.
