ISTANBUL (AA) — Palestinian resistance group Hamas said on Friday that Israel "will not be able to achieve its goals out of this war," referring to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
"What Israel did not achieve in 50 days before the pause, it will no achieve by continuing its aggression," Hamas Political Bureau official Izzat al-Rishq said in a statement.
"With the determination of our people and the heroism of our resistance, we oppose the crimes of the enemy, the resumption of Nazi aggression and its targeting of civilians," said the Hamas leader.
He also emphasized that the resistance against Israeli attacks would continue.
The pause between Israel and Hamas, which went into effect on Nov. 24, ended on Friday morning.
