Hamas: Gaza ‘will rise again… and continue on path of steadfastness until occupation is defeated’
Hamas says that Gaza and its people “will rise again” and rebuild the territory battered by more than 15 months of war sparked by the Palestinian terror group’s October 2023 invasion of southern Israel.
“Gaza, with its great people and its resilience, will rise again to rebuild what the occupation has destroyed and continue on the path of steadfastness until the occupation is defeated,” Hamas says in a statement issued on the second day of a hostage-ceasefire deal with Israel.
