Head of Hamas' military wing makes rare appearance
The leader of Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, made a rare appearance Sunday evening in Gaza – the first in years – and said the group is preparing for a new conflict with Israel.
Marwan Issa, who replaced Ahmed Jabari as the group's military leader after he was killed in a targeted Israeli attack in 2012, said that Hamas "is continuing to produce rockets, but is not currently striving for a conflict with Israel, but (preparing) for a future" one.
