group's logistics support division and
helped in the provision of military
equipment and explosives to fight-
ers. He also admitted to taking part
in the military action by placing
anti-tank charges and helping with
observation posts.
Shaer said he was privy to many
details about Hamas activities and
the organization's senior figures in
recent years. He offered investigators
intel on llamas' links to Iran and the
latter's military support for the Gaza
group.
Iranian support came in the form
of cash, advanced weapons and
sophisticated electronic equipment
meant to interfere with control
signals for Israeli drones over the
coastal enclave. The Shin Bet said
Shaer also briefed them on Iranian
training for Hamas fighters in the
use of paragliders capable of pen-
etrating Israeli airspace.
The fighter provided details about
llamas' elite units, the organization's
anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabili-
ties, the location of its observation
posts and the 3-kilometer range of
its photographic capabilities into
Israel.
In July, llamas published a short
video clip that it claimed showed the
former chief of staff of the IDF, Lt.
Gen. Benny Gantz, within rifle range
near the border fence with the Gaza
Strip during the 2014 fighting in the
coastal enclave.
Shaer said llamas has altered
its combat strategy in the wake of
Protective Edge, during which IDF
forces penetrated deep into the
Strip with the goal of destroying a
network of cross-border tunnels that
were to be used by llamas to launch
attacks inside Israel.
Shaer told investigators that mate-
rial for llamas' war infrastructure is
now being brought into Gaza under
the guise of reconstruction programs
aimed at repairing the damage caused
during the fighting, when thousands
of buildings were destroyed.
He also confirmed that fighters
kept explosives and other materiel
in their homes because llamas com-
manders feared the group's weapons
stores would be bombed by Israel.
Shaer noted that he had stored
several explosive charges of 50 kilo-
grams each in his own home.
On July 31, an indictment was
filed against Shaer in the Beersheba
District Court for being a member
of and engaged in activities with
a banned organization, attempted
murder, contact with an enemy
agent, forbidden military training
and various firearms offenses.
