The Resistance will have the final say: Hamas official to Al Mayadeen

• 

The Israeli occupation counting on the length of the battle is a failed bet, and the time factor will only be in favor of the Resistance, Hamas official Mushir Al-Masri confirmed to Al Mayadeen on Saturday.

Al-Masry added, "The enemy will not witness security unless our people enjoy it, and the blood of the martyred leaders is the unified commitment of the Resistance."

The official also stressed that "the final say will be for the Resistance and its powerful unified hand through the joint operations room," adding that the Resistance "will strike the enemy relentlessly."

On his part, Hamas Spokesperson Mohammad Hamadeh said, "The occupation's continued aggression against our Palestinian people, by bombing those who are safe in their homes in Gaza, and committing massacres in the West Bank, proves the reality of the criminal tendency of this occupation."

Hamadeh added, "The escalation of Resistance acts in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, along with the Resistance from the Gaza Strip, is the guarantor of deterring the occupation and cutting off its hand from continuing this encroachment."

Earlier today, a senior official in the Resistance told Al Mayadeen that the Palestinian Resistance will continue responding to the Israeli occupation's assassination of top commanders and its ongoing aggression on Gaza.

“The campaign continues, our next attacks are on the way,” he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he noted that "Israel" is increasing the talk about a state of military calm after its assassinations, aiming at spreading disinformation.

“Israel wants military calm in exchange for calm, without committing to an end to the targeted killings,” the official added.

The senior Resistance official acknowledged that Netanyahu fears his government will collapse if he announces that he will abide by the Resistance's conditions.

"No leaks regarding a ceasefire should be disseminated, the Resistance alone will decide when this round of fighting will end," he said.

For the fifth consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces launched a series of air raids across the Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes targeted residential buildings in the north, center, and south of the Gaza Strip, killing so far 33 Palestinians and wounding over a hundred others.

In response to the brutal Israeli aggression, the Palestinian Resistance continues to launch hundreds of rockets of varying ranges, targeting Israeli occupation settlements and cities, including "Tel Aviv" and Jibal Al-Quds.
