"Hizbullah has set up a forward HQ in the Gaza Strip to provide a direct link with terrorists in Judea and Samaria [West Bank] to transfer funds and instructions," an Israeli government statement said on Monday. "Hizbullah conditions the receipt of such funds on the perpetration of terrorist acts against Israeli targets, regardless of the particular ideology of the cells and terrorists involved."

This was the first time the Israeli government reported the operation of a Hizbullah center in the Gaza Strip. In early 2005, military sources said Hizbullah agents infiltrated Palestinian areas of the Gaza Strip and were recruiting operatives.
