Hamas releases video of Hamas Secret Service

This newly released video from Hamas provides a rare (probably first time) glimpse into the way the Hamas Secret Service protects (or doesn't) Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.


This assassination attempt against Haniyeh, by PA (PLO) forces, loyal to Muhammad Abbas occurred at the Rafiah Crossing -- and it appears about 4,5 minutes into the video.

Watch and wonder. Lots of scruffy, poorly trained, badly equipped, and completely unprepared wanna be security guards keep their Principal alive, in spite of their best efforts.



At about 4.5 minutes into the video, the attempt begins, now watch as the "secret service" attempt to cover and exfiltrate their Principal. First they stumble around a bit, then they take him to the get away vehicle. An open bed pickup. They get in the bed, all 25 of them and proceed to drive at OJ slow chase speeds for almost 4 minutes.

The whole time the cameraman is following on foot.

It's no wonder there are so few reported dead when the PLA and Hamas clash in Gaza.

It seems that the wanna be killers are at least as inept as the desired targets. On a side not an Arab nation has not won a war against a non Arab nation in modern times.

On a traditionally defined battlefield at least.
