Hamas: If IDF continue to bomb Gaza, response will be severe
The spokesman for Hamas' Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, stated that the numerous rockets fired towards Israel in recent days are a message to Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip. "The resistance will not sit idle and watch the crimes of the occupation, especially in light of the recent bombings," he said, and cautioned that if the IDF does not stop attacking the strip, the reaction will be severe.
In an interview with the Al-Resalah website, which is associated with Hamas, Abu Obeida also addressed the IDF's recent interception of the Victoria ship. He claimed that Israel is taking advantage of the calm to incite against Hamas by accusing the organization of smuggling ammunition into the Gaza Strip using ships. (Elior Levy)
