On the Israeli bombardment on Gaza, Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum states the following:

Hamas movement hails the Palestinian resistance, which defends the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation. The resistance fulfils its national and moral duty towards the Palestinian people, as it is responsible for the safety and security of the Palestinian people.

After the Israeli occupation shed the blood of the Palestinian people at the Great Return March last Friday, the Palestinian resistance decided to defend the Palestinian people against the Israeli crimes.

Hamas movement holds the Israeli occupation responsible for any repercussions of its crimes, violations, and rejection to implement the ceasefire understandings.

The message of the Joint Operation Room of the Palestinian Resistance Factions reads that the resistance would not keep silent while the Israeli occupation is shedding the blood of the Palestinian people. The resistance factions are the shields that protect the Palestinian people from the Israeli crimes and violations.
