Hamas Wants Foreigners Out Of Israel…

It added that the bombing of a commuter bus in Al-Quds Wednesday, June 11, by one of its members that left 16 other people dead and up to 100 others injured was "only the beginning of a new series of reprisals against the Zionists who occupy our country."

"The Al-Qassam cells are called upon to act rapidly to transform the Zionist entity into blood and ruins," it said.

It said the failed attempted assassination Tuesday, June 10, of top Hamas political leader, Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi, the most senior figure in the group to have been targeted since the September 2000 start of the Intifada, was a "cowardly operation conducted by the enemy government which believed the summits in Sharm El-Sheikh and Aqaba assured it a cover."

Amid the tit-for-tat attacks this week which have killed almost 50 people on both sides, the Israeli army has been ordered to "completely wipe out" Hamas.

In the latest bloodshed, at least six Palestinians were killed, including a Hamas cadre, his wife and three-year-old daughter, when several Israeli helicopter gun ships fired late Thursday, June 12, missiles at a car in northern Gaza City.
