— Hamas leadership: "We strongly condemn the criminal operation carried out by the Israeli occupation army today in the Gaza Strip"
In a statement, the movement's leadership said it had contacted mediators and Nikolay Mladenov, urging them to exert maximum pressure on the occupation government to stop such attacks and respect the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas warned that these deliberate escalatory steps aim to undermine the ceasefire deal and pave the way for continued genocide and aggression against our people in Gaza.
