Gaza: Al-Qassam Brigade threatens Israel

The Palestinian organisation Hamas’ military wing Ezzeddin Al-Qassam Brigades held a press conference in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.

Militias exhibited their weapons including the infamous Al-Qassam rocket during the conference. Also, footage of the Palestinian militias’ attack against Israeli forces was shown.

A masked spokesman made a threatening speech at the press conference. "Just a few Israeli soldiers were killed but there will be more if they do not get out of our lands. 90 Palestinians were killed and another 310 were wounded in the Israeli attacks," the spokesman said.

He also said, "So far, we have destroyed 15 Israeli tanks, 20 bulldozers and 11 military vehicles and we will continue our raids."

Meanwhile, the Israeli forces’ ‘Operation Days of Repent’ in which dozens of Palestinians were killed and wounded continues in the Gaza Strip. The operation was launched a week ago to halt the firing of Qassam rockets into Israeli towns. The Qassam rocket is a type of home-made weapon, with a range of three to ten kilometres and it takes its name from the Ezzeddin Al-Qassam Brigades which use them frequently.
