Islamic supremacism runs amok in Gaza: Hamas vow to bring down Israel.

KFAR DAROM, Gaza Strip (AFP) - Officers from Hamas’s militia are vowing to turn Gaza into a huge armed camp devoted to digging Israel’s grave, with tunnels, rocket attacks and a free flow of weapons and militants from Egypt.

“If Israel attacks the West Bank, we will fire rockets from here,” thundered Hamas officer Abu Muad, bouncing his young son on his lap during a “victory parade” in the abandoned Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom in central Gaza.

Ground commanders, with bushy black beards and pistols strapped to their sides, rode defiantly in a convoy of 50 jeeps and SUVs to cheers of Allah Akbar (God is Great) from a rapt crowd. Many officers remained unmasked, in testimony to their soaring confidence after Israel ended its 38-year occupation of the Gaza Strip on Monday.

Commanders from Hamas’s Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades armed wing spoke triumphantly of their post-Israeli withdrawal war strategy from the Gaza Strip. They sketched out a vision of tunnels into Israel, regular rocket attacks on the Jewish state; a free flow of weapons and militants from Egypt; and constant smuggling to the West Bank.

They spoke of their determination to turn the strip of Mediterranean coast, home to 1.3 million people, into an armed camp intent on the destruction of the Jewish state with a Palestinian Authority powerless to stop them.

And the price of weapons is dropping rapidly now that Palestinians can easily cross the Egyptian border: Palestinians smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza.

Black market prices for weapons and bullets have dropped sharply in Gaza in recent days because of intensive smuggling across the wide-open Gaza-Egypt border, Palestinian officials and arms smugglers said today.

The frontier used to be heavily guarded by Israel, but thousands have crossed in both directions since Israeli troops withdrew on Monday. Israel has filed a complaint with Egypt, amid growing concerns that weapons and militants would reach Gaza.
