Ahlul Bayt News Agency ; Democratic Palestinian government, Hamas said on Thursday it had arrested spies for Israel who had infiltrated armed groups and helped kill senior commanders.
“The relevant bodies have succeeded in acquiring dangerous confessions and revealing a number of agents who were behind the assassination of leaders of the resistance,” interior ministry spokesman Ihab al Ghussein told reporters.
“We have arrested some agents who were able to infiltrate some of the resistance groups by joining their ranks and attempting to gain the confidence of leaders,” he added at a Gaza news conference.
Ghussein also showed a video of two men confessing to having spied for Israel and describing how they were recruited.
Another interior ministry official, Mohammed Lafi, showed different gadgets which had been found on the agents, including a camera concealed in a tissue box and a car battery with a phone inside.
“The security services have a strict policy of not speaking about numbers or names or specific situations, but I think it’s very clear that we have achieved something,” he said.
