PA TURNS FORMER GAZA SETTLEMENTS INTO TERROR TRAINING CAMPS

Former Jewish communities in Gaza now terror training camps
GAZA CITY — The Palestinian Authority has converted abandoned Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip into training camps for Palestinian security forces. But Palestinian sources acknowledged a turf battle for the the sites involving insurgency groups.

Officials said several of the 21 Jewish communities dismantled by Israel in September 2005 have become training grounds for insurgents from the ruling Fatah movement as well as the Islamic opposition. They said training included members of the new "Popular Army" sponsored by Fatah. ....

Hamas sources reported that Hamas has been granted access to the new training grounds in Neve Dekalim which have also been used to launch Kassam-class short-range missiles toward Israel.
