Hezbollah, Hamas repair political ties during breakup
Despite the political differences that have
emerged between Hezbollah and Hamas over their positions on the Syrian
revolution in the last two years — which led to a break of ties between
them and an exchange of political accusations — the military cooperation
between the two groups has not ceased, due to it being
institutionalized. The credit here goes to former Izz ad-Din al-Qassam
Brigades leader Ahmed al-Jabari, who was killed by Israel during the
2012 war in the Gaza Strip. Jabari hailed from the Shajaiya quarter in
Gaza, which has seen the most violent fighting in the recent conflict.
The coverage of the current war in Gaza by Hezbollah-affiliated
satellite channel Al-Manar has prominently displayed Jabari’s picture on the screen —
hereby showing that Hezbollah is present in Hamas’ current struggle,
which has grabbed the attention of the Arab street. Sources who spoke to
Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity emphasize that Hamas and Hezbollah
have maintained their military cooperation despite the break in their
political relations.
