Hamas terror groups in Gaza have announced that they have captured a spy ring that was operated by the Fatah in Gaza.

This spy ring allegedly helped Israel during the warfare with Hamas during the Israeli army incursion into Gaza during December and January.

Hamas intends to substantiate its allegations against the defendants by means of taped confessions by Fatah activists to the crimes they allegedly committed.

A Hamas spokesman said the members of the spy-ring gathered important information about Hamas installations and positions where operatives had gathered during the operation.

This information was then passed on to an installation that had been set up by the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah, from where it was conveyed to Israel.

Hamas further charged that PA officials committed the crimes they are alleged to have committed in exchange for monetary compensation from Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

During the Gaza incursion, a high official in the Israeli intelligence establishment told The Bulletin that the Israeli army was indeed using information that the Palestinian Authority supplied to Israel against the Hamas government in Gaza.
