Hamas terrorists to begin "new media" push

Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades, yesterday met with new media activists to explain how important electronic media is to the terror group's strategy.

The conference on new media was organized by Hamas' interior ministry and its national security ministry; the terror arm of Hamas seems to have been invited to speak.

Abu Obeida also said that the Brigades is ready to counter any aggression on Gaza. It is interesting to note that Arab media for the previous day talked about rumors that Egypt was prepared to attack Gaza if need be, so it is possible that this was not just one of Hamas' usual blustery warnings to Israel.

The conference was held at the five star Commodore beachfront hotel in Gaza City.
