This might be of interest for researchers working on conflict
linguistics: the following links to a screenshot capturing a
correspondence between the official twitter account of the Hamas
military wing (Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - @qassamhebrew) and an
Israeli who noted several grammatical errors in their Hebrew tweets
(Hebrew only, sorry).<span><br>

<br>
It is a bit difficult to translate the exchange precisely, but it goes
something like this: <br>
1. Hamas issues a tweet that cites a text message (in broken Hebrew)
sent to Israelis recently as part of the movement's psychological
warfare. <br>
2. In response, an Israeli replies with the required grammatical
corrections. <br>
3. Hamas then tweets back a "thank you" and a short grammatical
clarification concerning one of the points raised by the Israeli. <br>
4. The Israeli then tweets back her hope that the owner of the account
would also take charge of Hamas' texting activities, since the (broken)
Hebrew messages essentially fail to generate the desired negative
effect. <br>
<br>
<br>
Hoping for quieter days,<br>
