Former Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal says the terror group has more in store for Israel in upcoming confrontations on the Gaza border.
“We will not give up the right of return. Gaza surprised Israel with something new, and we have more surprises,” he says from Turkey.
In Gaza City, current Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh says he’s proud of the “children of Palestine” who participated in Friday’s events.

“Our children and people sent a message to the world that we are determined to achieve the right of return and end the blockade,” he says.
Haniyeh made a rare visit to the border area during Friday’s violent confrontations between protesters and troops.
