Hamas has condemned the Israeli military’s intensified assaults over the past week on the eastern and southern neighbourhoods of Gaza City, particularly Zeitoun, Middle East Eye reports.
In a statement on Saturday, the Palestinian group said the Israeli military is using artillery, explosive robots, and warplanes as part of a “systematic destruction of the area, a savage war of extermination, and a criminal plan aimed at destroying the Gaza Strip and all forms and means of life within it.”
The group’s statement also said the “policy of displacement through the settlers’ terrorist attacks targeting Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank will fail”.
