In another sign of the ties between the Turkish organization IHH and Hamas, a representative of the group that organized the aid flotilla blocked by the Israel Navy on May 31 made a congratulatory video address at a recent ceremony marking the establishment of a new terrorist group in the Gaza Strip.
The ceremony was held in mid-July in Gaza and marked the establishment of a military wing by the Palestinian movement Al-Ahrar – The Free – which broke off from Fatah following Hamas’s takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007. The new military wing’s name is Al-Ansar Battalions."
