Hamas has dismissed the latest threats by Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant against the group, saying they represent the disgraceful defeat of Zionists in the war on Gaza.

A Hamas official hailed the Axis of Resistance for carrying out operations in a ‘wise and effective’ manner in support of the Palestinian fighters battling the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.

A senior Hamas official says the Israeli regime has used all methods of killing and destruction against people in Gaza with Western support.

The sanctions come as the Israeli regime continues with its air assault and ground operation in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Ismail Haniyeh, who heads the Political Bureau of Hamas, has written to leaders of countries in the region and beyond to warn against the consequences of any targeted assassination by Israel of the Palestinian resistance movement’s leaders.

The Israeli regime is reportedly preparing teams to carry out targeted killings of senior Hamas leaders abroad.

Israeli forces have arrested two young Palestinian men suspected of killing three people and injuring several others in the central city of Elad.
