But it has yet to establish authoritative operations in either the West Bank or Gaza, where both Hamas \u2013 the Islamist organization that rules the coastal territory \u2013 and its militant rivals are focused more on Israel than the vision of global jihad symbolized by Bin Laden. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/World\/Middle-East\/2010\/0111\/Up-next-Al-Qaeda-in-Palestine\">Up next: &#8216;Al Qaeda in Palestine&#8217;? \/ The Christian Science Monitor &#8211; CSMonitor.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/ca30346e-1e8d-4428-abd1-8d0f5f385407\/\" title=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: medium none ; float: right;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?x-id=ca30346e-1e8d-4428-abd1-8d0f5f385407\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\"><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report by a pro-Israel think tank warns that radical groups in Gaza may execute a major attack to secure an alliance with Al Qaeda.
