Hamas holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for its aggression against the Palestinian people of Gaza.

The Israeli occupation continues its foolish acts against the Palestinian people and exports its internal crises to the Gaza Strip.

The scale and timing of Israeli attacks reflect the confusion that the Israeli occupation is suffering from following its failure handle new rules of engagement imposed by al-Qassam Brigades. 

The intensity of Israeli bombing and attacks means that the Israeli occupation does not realise the consequences of going into this stage.

The Israeli occupation has to understand that Hamas, along with the Palestinian resistance factions, above all the al-Qassam Brigades, is able to respond to the Israeli attacks and will not abandon its duty and responsibility of defending the Palestinian people, nor will it accept new rules of engagement imposed by the Israeli occupation at any cost.
