Hamas Movement said Thursday that the threats of the Israeli GOC Southern Command Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir do not scare it nor the Palestinian people.
Spokesman for the Movement Sami Abu Zuhri said that “Israel has to think twice before taking the war decision because rules of the game have changed.”
Earlier Wednesday Israel’s GOC Southern Command Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir said that Israeli siege on Gaza will continue as long as Hamas continues to threaten Israel.
“As long as Hamas continues being an element threatening Israel Gaza’s basic problems won’t be resolved” he said.
The GOC Southern Command also addressed the possibility the electricity crisis could lead to an escalation of violence between Hamas and Israel stressing “Calm will be met with calm. We’re committed to protecting our borders and cities.”
“In a conflict we will ensure the enemy is not safe and is surprised at every corner. We will continue to strengthen the capabilities of the division and prepare to all manner of threats above ground and below it.”
