RAMALLAH Ñ Hamas is said to have taken a recess from suicide bombing
attacks in Israel to rebuild its insurgency network.
Palestinian sources said Hamas seeks to restore its network of agents
and reestablish strongholds in the West Bank amid an intense Israeli
military campaign that has led to the capture of deaths of more than 150
members. The sources said Hamas appears intent on recruiting and training
new agents before it embarks on a new wave of attacks against the Jewish
state.
Hamas spokespeople have acknowledged losses as a result of Israeli
military operations in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. They said that
suicide bombers have been harder to recruit as their families fear Israeli
demolition of their homes.
