Dubai police chief mocks Hamas, calls on it to halt rocket fire
Dubai police chief Dhahi Khalfan Tamim takes to Twitter bashing Hamas and calling for it to cease its launching of rockets at Israel “in vain.”
The policeman, who headed the investigation of the assassination of Hamas strongman Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, writes “make the rockets devastating or do not launch them at Israel in vain,” according to a translation by Ynet.
He even mocks Hamas’s leadership for taking refuge in Qatar, far from the front in Gaza: “Allah helps opposition leader [Khaled Mashaal] who is staying in a seven-star hotel.”
