The spokesperson of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, Fawzi Barhoum stated the following:

The Israeli allegations of firing a rocket from the Gaza Strip and issuing a statement from ISIL to adopt the attack is a dangerous Israeli game which attempts to vindicate the last night's escalation that targeted the Palestinian resistance posts across the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Occupation bears any unpredictable consequences of this escalation. We also warn the Israeli Occupation from intensifying this escalation and terrifying the Palestinian people. In addition, we hold the Israeli Occupation fully responsible for all the potential consequences resulting from this escalation.
