Hamas: Gaza strikes are continuation of Israeli aggression
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas spokesman Hazem Qassem slams ongoing IDF strikes on Gaza as a continuation of Israel’s “policy of aggression” and calls for international intervention.
“The escalation is a new link in the chain of the occupation’s continued attacks against the Palestinian people and the people of the Strip,” Qassem says in a statement sent to Palestinian news outlets. “It comes as a continuation of the policy of aggression against our people and the siege imposed on Gaza.”
He adds: “The escalation and continuous attacks will not break the steadfastness of our people and its resistance.”
Qassem also calls for “international and regional agencies to curb the aggression of the occupation.”
