Hamas blames Israel for death of its former spokesman

In an earlier post, I reported that Hamas had executed its former spokesman, Ayman Taha. Khaled Abu Toameh reports that Hamas is now trying to blame Taha's death on Israel.

Shortly after Palestinian journalists reported the execution, Hamas published a brief statement "mourning" the death of Taha, who it claimed was "martyred" during an Israeli air strike on an apartment in Gaza City.
