Haniyeh: Israel to pay ‘heavy price’
Ismail Haniyeh, the top Hamas politician in Gaza, releases a statement promising Israel will pay a heavy price in retaliation for the elimination of three senior members of the organization’s military wing.
“The path is long, and the fighters of the al-Qassam Brigades will cause the enemy to pay a heavy price. The crimes of the enemy only strengthen our adherence to our demands of a stop to aggression, a lifting of the siege and a life of freedom,” Haniyeh writes, according to a Ynet translation.
