Hamas - fighting a proxy war?

by Eze Eluchie

I had earlier posted that perhaps Hamas was fighting a ‘proxy war’ against Israel in the just concluded conflagrations. That supposition was elevated to reality with the macabre celebrations witnessed across Gaza soon after a cease-fire was declared.

The Hamas celebrants declared that they had succeeded in proving to other Arab States that Israel’s air defense system could be penetrated! Was that what this was all about? At such a huge cost in human lives and infrastructure? The celebrations were akin to terrorists groups celebrating a suicide bombers ‘successful mission’!

The Hamas regime in the West bank is equivalent to our local Boko Haram running the governments of States in the north eastern zone of Nigeria (Bornu, Yobe et al). It is an aberration.

Certainly, Hamas will in the not too distant future (probably in a few weeks time), seek yet another reason to ‘celebrate’!
