Hamas: Israel fully responsible for consequences of its escalation

The Hamas Movement has held the Israeli occupation state fully responsible for any consequences resulting from its persistent military escalation against the population and their resistance in the Gaza Strip.

“The scale of the attacks that targeted resistance sites reflects premeditated intents to escalate and strain the atmosphere, so it [Israel] should understand that it is the aggressor and the one that persists in continuing aggression and violations,” spokesman for Hamas Fawzi Barhoum stated in a press release on Saturday night.

Barhoum stressed that the Palestinian resistance would never forsake its duty to protect its people and would act responsibly to defend them and confront any aggression
