Israel uses friendly dolphins to spy on Hamas

GAZA (Web Desk) - Hamas has accused Israel of using dolphins to spy on its militant wing, reported CNN.

"Israel did not just stop at the bloody attacks against the Gaza Strip, now it has recruited a watery pet, the dolphin, known for his friendship with humans, to use for operations to kill Qassam Brigade Naval Commandos," Hamas said in an article published in Palestinian daily al-Quds.

The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, which controls Gaza, refused to comment on the story to CNN.

The article claims Qassam operatives on a training exercise along the beach confiscated camera equipment and spying devices mounted on the back of the dolphin.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces contacted by CNN declined to comment on the report.
