Is Isil attacked Gaza?
Israel will have to make a killing spree at Gaza, but will watch from a distance how the Arabs kill themselves.

The people of Gaza, that the biggest camp in the world, these days are re-awakened to the sounds of explosions that have almost become accustomed. Only this time it was not an explosion of modern missiles of the Israeli army, but echoes of bomb attacks in the northern Gaza City.
The explosion six mined car in the neighborhood Sheikh Radwan, wounded two civilians and causing great material damage. It's a wonder and happiness to the number of victims in the most densely populated place on Earth was bigger.
Target of the attack were officials militias who are fighting against the Israeli occupation and to Sheva Quds, the military wing of the Al-Jiihad al-Islami and detachment Izuddin Al-Qassam, the military wing of the ruling Hamas. In the crowd bloodier attacks in the region, this event almost remained undetected media.
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry Iyad al-Buza; and they issued a short statement in which they blamed for the attacks "vandals" who want to destabilize Gaza, and that will, sooner or later, be brought to justice.
He like other Hamas officials were not, at least in the first hours after the attack when it began this text, directly accused the armed group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or any of his close militant faction, have already stated that anyone who has committed these attacks work in the interests of Israel. However, all analysts, including those close to Hamas from Gaza, said it was clear that behind the attacks this organization and its sympathizers.
They recalled that it was precisely in the neighborhood of Sheikh Radwan beginning of military confrontation occurred between supporters of ISIL and the security forces of Hamas. Moreover, the emblem used by the ISIL can be seen written on the wall in the background of one of the wrecked cars.
All the more reason that everyone in Gaza pointing at ISIL and before they took over responsibility is the threat posed by the members of the so-called. Islamic countries imposed Hamas. Earlier this month, members of ISIL's from Syria as a video-recording which is threatening to "overthrow the government with Hamas," which controls the Gaza Strip.
"Unknown" rocket launcher
The 16-minute video that are shared through social networks sympathizers ISIL, the fighters whose stronghold in the Syrian province of Halep condemned Hamas for its fight against the Salafi groups and the failure to implement, according to their interpretation, enough consistent interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.
"The objective of Jihad is not to liberate the land, jihad is God defined as a struggle for God's laws and their implementation," said one masked fighter on video, and then condemned Hamas relations with Iran and the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, as well as "nationalist" "secular" and "socialist" movement.
Just a few days earlier, members of the ISIL in Gaza fired missiles at Israel followed by reprisals in which the targets were the positions of Hamas security organs. Hamas officials have claimed that it is a provocation aimed to destabilize their government and that Gaza drawn into a new confrontation with Israel, and that they do not stand behind such a move "unknown perpetrators".
Israel was not enough, and claimed that Hamas knows who is behind the attacks and that they give their support. In the beginning, Hamas has refused to admit that it is a sympathetic or branch ISIL, but after the release of the recording started talking more openly about the presence of these organizations in the Gaza Strip.
A reasonable attempt by Hamas to try to minimize the risk of these factions for fear of Israel, but also their political opponents in the Arab world, the creation of an internal conflict in Gaza might be trying to destabilize their government. Last month, Hamas released a recording of one of the prisoners in Gaza who admitted that he was instructed by the Palestinian Authority in Gaza to organize bombings.
However, many fear that the Hamas ignore this risk could backfire.
Perhaps aware of this danger, Hamas shortly after his move and ordered the crackdown on those they suspected of sympathizing ISIL's. It was followed by the arrest of dozens of people and the already mentioned the conflict in the neighborhood of Sheikh Radwan. Even then, the unnamed Hamas officials expressed concern that the ISIL could retaliate in his own style attacks in populated areas on the soft military and government targets in thingy will hurt a large number of civilians. Obviously, the safety assessment is correct.
The escalation of violence in Gaza can not be viewed in isolation from what is happening in the neighboring Sinai where Egyptian army months leading serious military operation against members of an organization called the Son of Wilayah (Province of Sinai) and which is presented as part of the caliphate governed by ISIL.
In fact, it is the members of the militant group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis who worked both in Gaza and the Sinai and are strengthened using the smuggling routes that have been established in order to come through the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza.
Statement Ya'alona
Activities of this faction which has made a vow of obedience (ar. Beja) self-proclaimed caliph Al-Baghdadi fit into their strategy against "close enemy" before the fight against the "far enemy". The change in strategy in which the only thing different from Al-Qaida is on the brink of the abyss led many Arab and some other Muslim state and society.
It would not be a miracle if ISIL was ready, as evidenced by the published picture, also repeated in the Gaza Strip, of course, if enough of the world and regional centers of power that will make it easier as they did in Syria and Iraq.
Regardless of whether it will ever find out who was behind Sunday's attacks in Gaza, it is clear which corresponds to the realization of ISIL's threats. If we look at the way ISIL "removed from office" of another in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and other countries where there are sympathizers, it is clear what we can expect in the future.
Repeat this oprobanog ISIL's scenario "chaos management" in Gaza could well mean that we will reach a situation in which Israel will have to make bloody raids on the Gaza Strip, but will, as it does on the Golan Heights, with the distance to watch how the Arabs kill yourself, proving once again the whole world "who did not want to understand with whom they have to work all the time."
The Arab media often occurs alleged statements by controversial statements by famous Israeli defense minister Moshe Ya'alona in which he says he is not success to "kill enemies rather than bring them in position to kill each other".
I do not know if the statement is credible, but could could come true in Gaza, just as I am not sure how such a long-term strategy is really in the interest not only of Israel but also of the world.
