Hamas terrorists have been conducting training in areas of Turkey, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN News reported on Thursday.
The operatives, who wear civilian clothing, regularly participate in training sessions on the use of small arms and tactics at public shooting clubs, as well as training in drone operations. They have even received official licenses to fly drones in Turkey, the report said.
