Any Israeli violation of the humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will be met with an ‘appropriate response,’ Abu Hamza, the spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades, the militant wing of the radical Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, said.
“Any violation [of the ceasefire by Israel] will be followed by an appropriate response,” he said in a statement posted on the group’s Telegram channel.
Hamas insist on the release of Palestines
According to the spokesman, despite the current ceasefire, the Palestinians do not intend to “raise the white flag” in their confrontation with Israel and intend to “emerge from this battle only victorious” after achieving “the liberation of all of Palestine.”
Jerrymusa.com reports that On November 22, the radical Palestinian movement Hamas announced that, with the help of Egypt and Qatar, it had reached a four-day agreement with Israel on a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The agreement calls for the release of 50 women, children, and teenagers under the age of 19 held in the enclave in exchange for 150 women, children, and teenagers under the age of 19 from Israeli prisons.
Israel-Hamas to commence 4day ceasefire
The four-day ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into effect in Gaza on Friday at 7:00 a.m. local time (5:00 a.m. GMT), Tassnews reported.
The situation in the Middle East escalated sharply after the infiltration of Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on October 7, accompanied by the killing of residents of border settlements and hostage-taking.
The radicals called the attack a response to Israeli authorities’ actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Israel announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched retaliatory strikes on the Strip and parts of Lebanon and Syria. Clashes were also reported in the West Bank.
