Hamas condemns Israel’s ‘systematic destruction’ of Gaza City

Hamas condemned the Israeli military’s intensified assaults on the eastern and southern neighbourhoods of Gaza City, specifically Zeitoun. The group stated that Israel is using artillery, explosive robots, and warplanes as part of a “systematic destruction of the area." Hamas characterized the actions as a "savage war of extermination" and a criminal plan to destroy the Gaza Strip. The statement also asserted that the policy of displacement through settler attacks in the West Bank will fail.
