Hamas mourns deaths of fishermen allegedly killed by misfired rocket

Hamas’ military wing says it “mourns with great sorrow” the deaths of the three fishermen allegedly killed by a misfired Hamas rocket.

In its statement, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades did not take responsibility for the deaths of the three fishermen killed off the coast of the Gaza Strip this morning.

“The resistance leadership and the security forces will form a specialized team to discover the circumstances of this painful incident, and the whole truth will be announced as soon as possible, God willing,” the terror group says.

Hamas often fires experimental rockets towards the Mediterranean sea, both to test its military capabilities and as a show of force.
