Hamas: Israel ‘sinking deeper and deeper’ into swamp of Gaza

A senior official of the Hamas resistance movement says Israel is “sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp of Gaza”, stressing that the occupying regime failed to achieve a single victory after 60 days of the war in the besieged enclave.

Osama Hamdan, Hamas’ top representative in Lebanon, made the remarks in a press conference in the capital Beirut on Tuesday, noting that the resistance group is “well prepared” to fight no matter how long the Israeli war is going to last.

“After 60 days of war, [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu and his military couldn’t achieve a single military or political victory. It’s a dream that will never come true to him nor to his military. No matter how long the war would last, we are well-prepared,” Hamdan said.

“Over 75 years this enemy has never claimed victory against our people. Our people have always been resisting and therefore they can never win against Hamas and they can never claim victory against our Palestinian people and here I would like to confirm that Netanyahu and his war staff are sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp of Gaza,” he added.

Hamdan also hailed the fighters of al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, who are defending the Palestinian people’s rights and their land, saying “every moment they are making the enemy sustain injuries and losses and making Gaza a cemetery for such an aggressor.”
