A source in the Hamas security apparatus has claimed that the terrorist organization has exposed new technological means used by the Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet) to gather intelligence in Gaza.

Speaking to the Hamas internal security website Al-Majd Al-Amni, the source said that ISA “has recently been feeling the force of the blows of the resistance (i.e. Gaza terrorist groups – ed.) and is starting to search for methods of action and new technology to ease its connection with agents on the ground.”

According to the security source, the terrorist group’s technological unit uncovered new technology meant to protect a Gazan agent who was talking with his ISA stringers by cellular phone.

ISA had the agent update his phone with a computer program that deletes all information passed through the device immediately after talking with his ISA contact, he claimed.

The source also claimed that earlier, Hamas’s security apparatus has discovered a different method of operation of the ISA, by which it employed SIM cards that held double uses based on a code set in advance.

The discovery led to the location of several intelligence agents that had given information to the ISA, according to the source.
