By Ari Yashar

 

An official with the Hamas Islamist terrorist organization warned on Wednesday that Gaza could “become” a breeding ground for extremism, unless the world forks over more funds to rebuild after Hamas’s latest terror war against Israel.

By YAAKOV LAPPIN

 

An Israeli defense analysis center released on Thursday the names of 50 Gazan terrorists killed in combat with Israel this summer, whose names have been concealed by Hamas from Palestinian casualty lists.

By Tova Dvorin
