(SALEM, Ore.) - Sources reported that Lebanese security agencies have discovered some Hamas movement members in this country collecting information to provide to Turkish intelligence service.

According to the Panorama Al-sharq Al-Awsat news agency, these Palestinian members collect the needed information and give their findings to the Turkish intelligence service known as MIT.

In order to collect the news and information in Lebanon, the Turkish intelligence service is rumored to be served by a proxy named Moshir Salah Hassanein, who is said to be Egyptian and a Muslim Brotherhood member.

They say this person is in close contact with the Hamas foreign relations officer and that a part of his information comes from this relationship.

To advance its goals of intervention in Syria and Lebanon, Turkey has neglected no opportunity, even close alliance with Israel, and instead of supporting Palestinian groups in occupied territories conflicts, they use Hamas forces as a tool for their own purposes.
