The Muslim Hamas organization will expand its terrorism offensive from Gaza into Samaria and Judea, the land it seeks to form the nucleus of its “State of Palestine.”
A spokesman for the group said Monday that “because of the Israeli attacks on our children” Hamas - which has never held back from murdering children and women - “has no red lines anymore.”
He was referring to the IDF strikes carried out against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip in Israel’s effort to end Kassam rocket attacks on its civilians.
Dozens of rockets have been fired against the Negev town of Sderot in the past week, inflicting casualties and property damage.
An IDF strike against a Hamas parliamentarian’s home Sunday night killed a number of Arabs.
Hamas – which commands a majority in the Palestinian Authority – has adamantly refused to try prevent the Kassam rocket fire – which is often perpetrated from within civilian areas.
It has vowed to unleash Allah-bombers ("suicide" killers), and called on its members and supporters to attack anything that could be considered Israeli.
