Hamas official in Gaza: Israel should be wary of testing us
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAs tensions ramp up on the southern front, senior Hamas official Musheer al-Masri has warned Israel that it will not suffer cross-border exchanges quietly.
“The Israeli occupation should avoid testing the Palestinian resistance’ tolerance,” Masri tells the Ma’an news agency, adding that “the enemy should realize that the toll would be in proportion to the Israeli crimes.”
Masri calls Israeli shelling of Hamas positions in Gaza “dangerous developments and an obvious breach of the ceasefire in Gaza.”
Israel fired into Gaza following several incidents of mortars being shot at troops in Israel Wednesday and a shooting attack a day earlier, a major escalation of violence in an area that has remained mostly quiet since the end of a devastating war in 2014.
