The truth behind the blast in Lebanon is being revealed. The Hamas organization issued a statement saying that one of the people killed in the explosion that occurred yesterday (Saturday) was the engineer Hamza Ibrahim Shahin, a member of the organization. “With a heavy heart we announce the death of Abu Muhammad,” read an ad that ended with the caption: “Jihad is the victory or death of the saints.”
The military wing of the organization, the Izz a-Zadin al-Qassam Brigades, issued its own statement stating that it was their fighter who had died a martyr’s death. An announcement about a special burial ceremony to be held this afternoon has been circulated on social media.
An estimated 13 people were killed in an explosion in the basement of the mosque in the Burj al-Shamli Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Hamas needed a long time to issue an orderly response to what had happened, in which they rejected the “false reports” that the explosion was caused by an ammunition depot that was under the mosque. According to them, the explosion was caused by oxygen tanks stored there for the treatment of corona patients.
A Hamas statement said, “After hearing a number of eyewitnesses to the blast and examining the circumstances of the accident, it was found that it was caused as a result of a short circuit in a warehouse containing oxygen balloons for Corona patients, as well as detergents, disinfectants and raw materials intended to fight the plague.” To the residents of the refugee camp. “
Dozens of ambulances and medical teams arrived at the scene to evacuate the wounded to hospitals, and Hamas expressed great appreciation to the medical and civil defense teams who rushed to treat the fire and its victims.
On social media, they mocked Hamas and clarified that the case exposes Tapah of the organization’s significant activity in southern Lebanon, when, similar to what is happening in the Gaza Strip, he uses the civilian population as a disguise for terrorist activity.
“Hamas is planting weapons and ammunition in the hearts of civilians, where are the worried ones? Where is the world? Where is the UN and their position against the criminal and terrorist movement that kills its women, children and the elderly in Gaza and Lebanon?”
He criticized Hamas, which exploits the Palestinians in Gaza and the refugee camps for the personal gain of its senior members. “The ruling gangs of Hamas forces and those who profit from them transfer their money abroad,” he claimed.
Beyond the criticism, the explosion in the refugee camp in southern Lebanon – a work accident for all intents and purposes – indicates Hamas’ investment, under the command of Salah Al-Aruri, who was released in the Shalit deal, in the Lebanese arm. An investment designed to increase the volume of the northern threat to Israel when Hamas is added as an auxiliary force to Hezbollah.
