The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has denounced the barbaric Israeli bombardment in the besieged Gaza Strip as a “blatant assault and an extension of its open war against our Palestinian people across Palestine.” 

“The Israeli terrorism will not dissuade our Palestinian people from continuing their resistance across Palestine,” Hazem Qasem said in a press statement Friday. 

Qasem emphasised that the Palestinian people will continue their legitimate fight against the Israeli occupation until achieving their aspirations for freedom and independence.
