Hamas claims victory in conflict with Israel after ceasefire
A senior Hamas figure claims victory in the conflict with Israel in a speech to thousands of people celebrating in Gaza City after a ceasefire came into place.
“This is the euphoria of victory,” said Khalil al-Hayya, the second most senior member of the Islamist terror group’s political bureau in the Gaza Strip. He also promises to reconstruct homes destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.
