Hamas: Gallant’s assassination threat shows disgraceful defeat of Zionists

Hamas has dismissed the latest threats by Israel’s war minister Yoav Gallant against the Palestinian resistance movement, saying they indicate the disgraceful defeat of his forces in the Gaza Strip.

According to reports, in a brief statement, Hamas rejected Gallant’s assassination threat against top Hamas leaders as “completely absurd and pointless,” stressing that the comments exhibit the Zionist enemy's inability to achieve any of its goals in its onslaught on Gaza.

“The allegations made by the criminal war minister of the occupying regime, in which he alleged that his defeated troops are on the verge of assassinating Hamas leaders, are utterly worthless.

“Such hollow threats are meant to present an imaginary picture of Israeli military achievements [in Gaza]. They demonstrate the ignominious failure of the occupying regime and Gallant in attaining any of the declared goals as a result of aggression against Gaza. The assaults have brought about nothing other than massacre of ordinary people and destruction of civilian facilities,” the statement read.

On Thursday, emeritus professor of peace studies at Bradford University Paul Rogers wrote in British daily The Guardian that "Israel is losing the war against Hamas" but Benjamin Netanyahu and his regime "will never admit it".
