Hamas Establishes Navy
Hamas has established a new naval defense force, headed by one of the group’s senior commanders Jamil al-Dahashan, that will be entrusted with guarding the Gaza Strip coast, Ynet has recently learned.
The force, which does not as yet own any marine vessels, is aimed at securing the shores from IDF marine operations as well as criminal activity of drug dealers.
The force will also try to prevent collaboration of Palestinians with the IDF. According to Hamas, several local fishermen admitted in recent weeks to relaying information to IDF ships.
A Hamas official told Ynet that the force’s members have already deployed several heavy machine guns and mortars along the beaches to be used against IDF vessels if they approach the Strip. He admitted that the force would not be able to match the abilities of the Israeli Navy, but stated that it would attempt to intervene in its operations.
Since Hamas’ takeover of the Strip, the IDF has kept away from Gaza’s shores, he added.
“The Israelis have stopped firing, even at Palestinian fishermen boats like they used to,” he said. “I think they know that Hamas fighters and the new naval force have in their possession some of the security forces’ heavy artillery, seized during the Strip’s takeover.”
According to the official, the new force is made up of Hamas members and members of the organizations affiliated with the group, including some who had served in the Palestinian Authority Navy in the past

August 9th, 2007 at 2:43 amI have a navy too.
August 9th, 2007 at 3:04 amI launch a flotilla right after lunch.
What kind of boat could they afford? I bet our boats can beat their boats.
August 9th, 2007 at 3:13 amprobably goes hand in hand with their space program
August 9th, 2007 at 3:45 amWhat do you call a Hamas naval vessel?
A target.
August 9th, 2007 at 5:18 amHmmm…… Bass boats packed with C4?
August 9th, 2007 at 5:50 amROFLMAO, GF…best laugh I’ve had today.
August 9th, 2007 at 5:58 amActually, I heard that they put some old bathtubs together with duct tape and added some bottle rockets and a .50 cal. The motor is a flatulent imam tied to the back and the fuel is beans without the pork.
Sorry, best I could do on such short notice.
August 9th, 2007 at 6:02 amYeah well i would put our Aegis warships over their rowboats any day of the week haha..AZ, thats hilarious! goes hand in hand with their space program
August 9th, 2007 at 6:30 amLove it, azbastard!
August 9th, 2007 at 6:48 amDon’t forget their crack air force, either!
(BTW, their space program is innovative as Muslims think the world is flat and that the sun revolves around the earth…)
What losers.
Those bastards are going to get awfully tired doing all that swimming with that heavy shit on their backs. Give me a fucking break. Do they read their own press releases? If they did, I would think they could see how absolutely stupid it sounds to say there is a navy, but there are not any marine vessels. It’s not wonder they stand and throw rocks and say they have an army. Holy Shit, Batman.
August 9th, 2007 at 6:54 amLet me guess at what their “navy” will be: a bunch of zodiacs packed with semtex and driven by a inbred freak with visions of virgin (not that he’d know what to do with them) dancing in his pitiful excuse for a brain.
Yeah, that’ll work.
Martyr is just a fancy word for “crappy fighter”.
August 9th, 2007 at 6:59 amHow exactly is placing heavy artillery on your shores considered a navy? I guess when they hijack a plane they can say this is their air force too.
August 9th, 2007 at 8:58 amHi,
Don’t you actually need a “boat” ~ “raft” ~ or at least a blow up water mattress…BEFORE you call yourself a “Navy”
Man…some of these ’sports fans’ have things backass backwards.
good grief!
Peace,
