Israeli attacks ‘new crime’ against Palestinians: Hamas

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on several Hamas positions in Gaza late Saturday. Israeli tanks also shelled four observation towers of the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in northern Gaza.

No injuries were reported in the attacks, which the Zionist regime's army said were in response to rocket fire from Gaza.

In a statement, Hamas termed the Israeli attacks as a “new aggression to be added to Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.”

"The [Palestinian] resistance will continue to fulfill its duty to defend the [Palestinian] people and liberate the [Palestinian] land and holy sites,” group spokesman Hazem Qassem said.

Israel launched an 11-day military offensive in Gaza in May, in which more than 260 Palestinians were martyred and thousands of others injured.
