Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said that Palestinian resistance forces possess the means to harm Israel, accusing Tel Aviv of attempting to evade its commitments under the ceasefire agreement, Anadolu reports.
“What the Israeli enemy failed to achieve through war, it will not obtain through threats and deception,” Al-Qassam’s spokesperson Abu Ubaida said in a televised statement.
He added that the resistance has the capability to hurt the Israeli enemy in any future confrontation, calling Israeli threats a “sign of weakness and humiliation.”
“The shortest path to regional stability is forcing the Israeli enemy to abide by the (ceasefire) terms it signed,” he said.
Abu Ubaida accused Israel of trying to renege on the agreement, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is prioritizing political interests over the fate of Israeli hostages.”
He added that Palestinian factions have honored their commitments under the ceasefire deal since Jan. 19, including a structured process for prisoner exchanges.
