News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Hamas has produced a glossy magazine, with the cover showing a masked boy carrying an assault rifle. The free magazine includes a women's section, illustrated with lilies and hand grenades, as the terrorist party attempts to reach literate sectors of Gaza society. One picture shows a woman wearing a military khaki floor-length robe while training to use guns.

The Associated Press, which received a copy of the magazine, quoted Hamas official Abdul Latif Qanou, that the publication aims to educate Gaza residents. It describes its military wing as having "more than 10,000 fighters with weapons who are a real army under military formations."
