On Israeli bombing in Gaza and the resistance’s response, Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum stated the following:

The Palestinian resistance’s action is a direct response to the Israeli aggression against Gaza has been bombarded by Israeli air forces for several days.

This response confirms that the Palestinian resistance won’t keep silent but will fulfill its responsibility of defending the Palestinian people against any Israeli offensive.

If the Israeli occupation plunges the enclave into a new escalation, it shall be held responsible for the repercussions of its repeated attacks and continued siege.

 We consider the 14-year blockade, the electricity crisis, and banning entry of goods, fuel, and medicine to Gaza a crime against humanity that shall not be tolerated.
