The head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement 'Hamas' , Khaled Meshal, asserted that the leadership  of Hamas  has accepted the challenge posed by  the Israeli Occupation on  changing the rules of the game and confrontation and also by their  assassination  of the senior Qassam Commander , Mazen Foqha, in Gaza.

Challenging the occupation during a ceremony held to mourn martyr Mazen Foqha in Gaza on Monday evening, Meshaal said " actions speak louder than words."

He assured that the leadership of Hams bears its responsibilities ,knows exactly  what it must do and  is able to continue on its path. He added " Our will is stronger than their weapons and we will achieve victory at the end."

Big challenge

Meshaal continued ' By committing this crime, the occupation wants to tell us that it has killed a hero from our heroes  in Gaza and taken vengeance from a freed prisoner of the late exchange deal. He added ' This is big challenge to overcome and a heavy duty to fulfill"

He pointed out that Palestinian people live in continuous struggle and in an open confrontation with the Israeli Occupation asserting that there is no victory without martyrs, and there is no liberation without fighting and resistance.
