Former Israeli Commander: “Hamas for Israel is Like ISIS for the Western World”
by TheTower.org Staff | 06.12.17 4:30 pm

“Hamas for Israel is like ISIS for the Western world,” the former head of Israel’s Southern Command said on Monday, 10 years since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip.

Yoav Galant, the commander of Israel’s Southern Command from 2005 to 2010, is currently a member of Knesset with the Kulanu party and the minister of housing and construction. He offered his assessment at a press briefing hosted by The Israel Project, which publishes The Tower.

Galant described the “brutal” manner in which Hamas ejected Fatah, the party led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in 2007. “They slaughtered the people in the streets. They threw them from the roofs, five or ten stories high. They closed and circled areas, headquarters, and the positions held by Fatah and others. And then either burned them or activated tunnels full of explosives underneath them.” What Galant sees from ISIS now is “very similar on the way that it was done.”
