Hamas is “ready” for an Israeli invasion of Gaza over the October 7 attacks, a top official of the Palestinian group said after Israel announced it would extend its ground operation in the besieged enclave, AFP reports.

“If (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu decides to enter Gaza tonight, the resistance is ready,” said Ezzat al-Rishaq, a senior member of the Hamas political bureau, on social media platform Telegram.

“The remains of his soldiers will be swallowed up by the land of Gaza.”
