I've Been Thinking:

On Thursday Hamas announced that they arrested a double agent. According to Hamas the agent had been helping Israel for the past 23 years. They say that this agent is responsible for the deaths and arrest of numerous Hamas members.

On Wednesday Hamas announced that they had arrested an Israeli agent who for years had acted as finance minister for the Israelis. They say this person was the pocket book for Israeli assets in Gaza and that he paid them in cash.

The two announcements could be talking about the same person.
If the reports are true it shows just how deeply entrenched Israeli intelligence is in Gaza. To be an active spy and to handle assets as a middle man for 23 years is an entire career.

Only now that person has been outed, been discovered. Of course, whoever he is or they are --- they really do not work for Israel.

They may be helping Israel. Israel may have been paying them and everyone else. But they do not work for Israel.

There is no link between Israel and these assets. There could never be a link, it would be too risky. The people involved have no information about Israel and Israeli intelligence, just information about Gaza.

The sad shame is that Israel can do nothing once a person has been caught. If the Israelis had an inkling that arrests or capture were imminent, they could have removed the person/s and set them up in Israel. There are entire communities and complexes of Arabs who are former assets that have been "brought in." Unfortunately it is most probably too late in this case/s.

Experience says these people are tried at night and hung very soon after.
