Hamas ‘continuing struggle’ after it rejects Egyptian truce deal
Simultaneous to an announcement by a Hamas spokesperson on Facebook that the terror group rejects the Egyptian ceasefire proposal, and that Israel must either accede to its demands or face a war of attrition, Hamas’s armed wing tweets “We are continuing our struggle.”
“ALLAH IS OUR GOAL, THE PROPHET IS OUR LEADER, JIHAD IS OUR WAY, AND DEATH FOR ALLAH IS OUR MOST EXALTED WISH,” the Al-Qassam Brigades tweets in all capitals.

For now, there is no indication the group intends to break the truce, which expires on Monday night.
