According to an assessment by Israeli defense officials, the Hamas terror group in Gaza appears willing to ramp up armed conflict with Israel, reported Haaretz on Monday.

Cooperation from Palestinian Islamic Jihad has emerged as a new tool in Hamas’ arsenal, with the two terror organizations sharing responsibility for rocket attacks on Israeli civilian targets. For the time being, it appears that the Islamist groups are willing to work together, at least for the purpose of preparing to battle Israel.
