Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad says they will repeat October 7-like massacres until Israel is annihilated.
We did not want to harm civilians, but there were complications on the ground, and there was a party in the area with (civilian) population,” he said in response to the Hamas strike on October 7. He added that it was a huge area, spanning 40 kilometers.
“The occupation must come to an end,” Ghazi said. The interviewer responds, “Where is your occupation? In the Strip of Gaza?
“No, I am talking about all the Palestinian land,” Ghazi responds, alluding to Israel’s destruction.
“The existence of Israel is illogical,” he clarified. The source of all the suffering, bloodshed, and tears is Israel’s existence. It’s not us; it’s Israel. The victims of this occupation are us. Forever.”
Consequently, no one should hold us accountable for our actions. “Everything we do on October 7, October 10, and October 1,000,000 is justified,” Ghazi declared.
Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said that Hamas is sacrificing the people of Gaza as “human shields” adding that the country “won’t be deterred and will continue dismantling Hamas.”
In an interview with CNN, IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus said, “The population in Gaza continues to pay the price for the atrocities of Hamas. This is a war that we didn’t want and we didn’t start. We are now responding to Hamas regression.”
An Israeli strike in a densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left several dead and has caused catastrophic damage according to eyewitnesses in the region.
The death toll in Gaza stands at 8,796 till Wednesday afternoon (IST).
Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas politburo and Hamas deputy prime minister, said in an interview on Lebanon’s LBC TV that Hamas will continue to repeat the October 7 ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ Operation, in which over 1,400 people were cruelly slaughtered and over 200 people kidnapped into Gaza, over and over until Israel is “annihilated.” Hamad told the LBC anchor, in the interview broadcast in Arabic on October 24, that “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country. We are not ashamed to say that with full force. We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again.”
The interview was translated and distributed by the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
“The ‘Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the resolve and the capabilities to fight,” Hamad said.
