GAZA ' OPERATION CAST LEAD' GENERAL SLAMMED HAMAS ABUSE OF CIVILIANS

BREAKING NEWS

TEL AVIV - IDF Gaza Division commander, Brigadier-General Ayal Eisenberg slammed Hamas. Calling the group's abuse of civilians “monstrous.” Hamas chose to fight among civilians, he said.
"Sometimes it's incomprehensible how monstrous and inhuman Hamas terrorists' behavior can be, if by sending a woman with a Koran in one hand and a grenade in the other, or by using a child to carry weapons from one place to the next” Eisenberg said. He also charged Hamas with planting bombs under civilian homes without the residents' knowledge.
Eisenberg put responsibility for civilian casualties on Hamas. “They chose the battlefield,” he said.
Despite Hamas claims to the contrary, many Gaza civilians are both enraged and terrified of the group, he said. When Israel announced a ceasefire, many ran and attempted to escape, he added.
Meanwhile, the Hamas-led PA in Gaza announced Thursday that it would grant financial compensation to anyone who lost an immediate relative in fighting or whose house was destroyed. Those who lost a family member will be awarded 1,000 euro, those wounded will get 500 euro and those left homeless will get 4,000 euro, officials said.
Hamas plans to distribute at least 35 million dollars in compensation money, officials said. Gaza is expected to get billions of dollars from the international community in order to finance the reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure.
