Hamas says Israeli strikes in Gaza are ‘dangerous escalation,’ risk the ceasefire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Hamas terror group denounces a series of Israeli airstrikes earlier today as a “dangerous escalation,” warning that they jeopardized a fragile ceasefire.
Israel has said it launched the strikes across the Gaza Strip in response to terror operatives firing on IDF troops in southern Gaza.
“We consider this a dangerous escalation through which the war criminal [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu seeks to resume the genocide against our people,” Hamas writes in a statement.
The IDF said earlier today that the attack on troops on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — meaning IDF-held territory in Gaza — “constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
