Islamic State activists recently entered Egypt thorough tunnels dug by Hamas in order to conduct a military drill, IDF Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, said on Friday in an interview to a Saudi news site.

This drill, according to Mordechai, indicates that Hamas sources in the Gaza Strip have been in touch with ISIS. “Hamas is trying to fool everyone,” he said. “While getting closer to Egypt, it also joins forces with ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Mordechai also reported that Hamas has been assisting ISIS by providing medical treatment to its activists hospitalized in Gaza in exchange for weapons and money.

These claims, if true, could seriously harm Hamas’ declared intention to keep its distance from Iran.
