Hamas Denounces Israeli Plan for Gaza City as 'New War Crime'

Threatens Retaliation If Operation Proceeds

Hamas has condemned the Israeli government's plan to seize control of Gaza City, labeling it a "new war crime" and vowing severe consequences if implemented.

“The Zionist cabinet’s approval of plans to occupy Gaza City and evacuate its residents constitutes a new war crime that the occupation army intends to commit against the city,” Hamas said in a statement Friday. “This aggression will cost them dearly.”
