A Hamas official has vowed to repeat the horrific terror attack on Israel earlier this month “over and over again” until the country is completely destroyed, insisting it has “no place on our land.”
Ghazi Hamad, a member of the militant group’s decision-making political bureau, warned that Gaza’s leadership would emulate the coordinated October 7 attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Flood by terrorists, which killed more than 1,400 Israelis and claimed 240 lives. hostage.
“The flood of al-Aqsa was the first time and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the determination and the ability to fight,” Hamad said in a Lebanese television interview on October 24 that was reproduced by the British Store on Wednesday.
Hamad said the terrorist organization was willing to “pay the price”.
“We are called a country of martyrs and are proud to sacrifice martyrs,” said Hamad. “Israel is a country that has no place on our earth. We must get rid of that country because it is a security, military and political disaster for Arab and Muslim countries, and must be resolved.”
“We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again,” said Ghazi Hamad of Hamas last week.AP
“We are not ashamed to say this, with all our energy. We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do this again and again.”
Hamad said Hamas was “justified” in its attacks on Israel, which was created in 1948, sparked the Israeli-Arab war and led to the expulsion of Palestinian refugees from the territory.
The narrow Gaza Strip, home to about 2.3 million people, has been under Israeli and Egyptian blockade for security reasons since Hamas came to power.
Hamas has been designated a terrorist organization by the US and the European Union for its suicide bombings and rocket attacks.

“The existence of Israel is what caused all the pain, blood and tears,” Hamad said, calling the creation of the Jewish state “illogical.”
“It is Israel, not us. We are victims of colonialism. Therefore, no one should blame us for what we do. On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 — everything we do is justified.”
His comments came before Israel launched a ground offensive with the stated aim of eliminating Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since ousting the Palestinian Authority in 2007.
