Hamas: Revenge is coming

ISNA - Iranian Students' News Agency

The assassination of martyr Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri would not change the Resistance's convictions, Hamas politburo member Osama Hamdan confirmed on Sunday, vowing that revenge from the Israeli occupation entity for its crime is definitely coming.

Tehran (ISNA) - "The enemy will face a response from us that will teach it that the assassination will not weaken the Resistance," Hamdan said in a televised address.

However, he stressed that the greater revenge that the Resistance will take is the liberation of occupied Al-Quds, ending the occupation, and the return of Palestinians to their land.

"The ones who will leave the land of Palestine and go back to where they came from will be the occupying settlers," Hamdan stressed.

He went on to say, "Our land will only be Palestinian, for the Palestinian people."

Additionally, the senior Hamas official said the assassination of Al-Arouri and his companions in Beirut's Southern Suburb shows, once again, that the Israelis do not "respect laws and conventions or recognize the security and sovereignty of any state."

The intensity of the Israeli bombing of Gaza is unprecedented in recent history. Human rights organizations and war observers recently estimated that the volume of explosives dropped on the Strip during the last three months is equivalent to more than 3 Hiroshima nuclear bombs.

On that note, Hamdan said that Israel destroyed 70% of civilian homes in Gaza and put 30 of the Strip's main hospitals out of service as part of its plan to forcibly displace the Palestinian people.

He also emphasized that "voluntary migration" is a malicious slogan chanted by Nazi extremists in the occupation entity. "This plot will not be realized for we are the owners of the land and will remain in it, while they are the ones who will leave."

Addressing US-Israeli statements about forming and imposing a "new government in Gaza," which does not include Resistance factions and is under the supervision of the occupation entity, Hamdan confirmed that this scheme shall not pass.

"Gaza will only be a part of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital," he concluded.
