Hamas hid underground while leading unarmed people into “greatest disaster” – PA official
Tulkarem District Governor Abdallah Kmeil: "To lead an unarmed people into a war in which you [Hamas] are underground as a fighter, while the unarmed people with its children, women, and unarmed men are above ground, is the greatest disaster, because the one paying the price is the people… Leaders who love their people always provide a safe haven for the people, because the basic principle of every fighter is 'We will die so that our people will live.' But to go down into tunnels, as [senior Hamas official] Musa Abu Marzouq said, according to whom the shelters are meant for the Jihad fighters and the one responsible for the people is the UNRWA – what is this? Is this logical?"
