Hamas opens new combat training course

Ezzedin Qassam brigades, the military wing of the anti-occupation Hamas movement opened a new military training course in the 'pioneers of freedom' camp with 30 thousand activists involved.

The trainees all hail from the Israeli-besieged Gaza, the Qassam official website said, adding they would undergo a two-week training course.

The course contains combat skills including shooting and self-defense as well as military tactics, the website said.

The camp was initiated by Hamas following the Israeli war on Gaza in 2014 that turned genocidal when the Israeli forces resorted to the mass killings of the Palestinian civilians in a bid to crush the resolve of the Palestinian combatants but to no avail.
