In the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike that killed two resistance members in northern Gaza, the spokesperson of Hamas Fawzi Barhoum stated the following: 

Hamas considers the deliberate Israeli attack on al-Qassam Brigades’ site in northern Gaza, which killed Ahmed Marjan and Abdel Hafez al-Silawi, as a serious aggression on Gaza. 

While the Movement mourns two of its armed wing’s members, it holds the Israeli Occupation responsible for the repercussions of its aggression on Gaza. 

Hamas will not allow the Israeli Occupation to impose a new reality by targeting resistance security sites and members without paying a price in return and the Palestinian resistance has the capability to repulse the Israeli aggression.
