In a change of tactics obviously influenced by their buddies the head-chopping mujahideen of Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Hamas has released one of those by-now-familiar Islamic videos, threatening that unless Israel stops trying to prevent them from firing missiles into Israel, they’ll fire missiles into Israel.

(That’s Hamas logic.)

Hamas Issues Video Threat Against Israel.

CAIRO, Egypt - The Palestinian militant group Hamas has issued a video threatening daily attacks on the Israeli town of Sderot unless soldiers halt a monthlong operation aimed at stopping rocket attacks. Hamas, blamed for dozens of suicide bombings in Israel, has not issued such video threats in the past.

The video aired Tuesday on the pan-Arab television station Al-Arabiya featured three masked men surrounded by weapons and standing before a green flag emblazoned with the Muslim credo: “There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet.”

One of the men reads a statement threatening to rain rockets on the Israeli town of Sderot and identifying his group as “the Brigades of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam,” Hamas’s military wing.

“We will continue to shell you every day to see what your defeated army will do for you,” the Hamas threat said. “Oh residents of Sderot, stop your army from carrying out their crimes and get them out of Beit Hanoun otherwise you will play the price.”
