Hamas chief vows response to Zionist incursion

The leader of Palestine's resistance movement Hamas has warned that the group will not tolerate a new Israeli regime incursion into the Gaza Strip as the Tel Aviv's strikes on the besieged enclave enter a third day.

“We will not under any circumstance accept these incursions," Ismail Haniyeh said Friday, Press TV reported.

Haniyeh, who acts as Hamas boss inside Gaza, noted that the resistance movement was not seeking a new war with Israel two years after an aggression by the illegal Zionist entity inflicted huge losses on the sliver.

Israelis continued to target what they claimed were facilities run by Hamas in Gaza on Friday morning, with eyewitnesses saying two sets of air raids were carried out, one targeting Beit Lahia in northern Gaza and the second in Khuza'a, near Khan Yunis, in the south of the besieged territory.

No immediate reports were available on possible casualties.

On Thursday, an old Palestinian woman was martyred and another Palestinian was wounded after Israelis fired tank shells at residential areas in Khan Yunis.
