Alwaght- The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas vowed revenge on Thursday after Israeli regime strikes killed three fighters in attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip.
“We announce the raising of the preparedness level to the highest and alert all of our soldiers and forces in every location,” said a statement from the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.
“The enemy shall pay a high price in blood for the crime which it commits daily against the rights of our people and our fighters.”
Three resistance Fighters were martyred Wednesday by Israeli artillery fire targeting a Hamas military outpost near the border east of Gaza City.
The latest bloodshed came five days after the UN and Egypt brokered a deal to halt a July 20 surge in violence.
Separately, al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, said in a statement that the latest Israeli crime in Gaza would not go unpunished, stressing that all options were being considered to respond to the violence.
Israel carries out regular attacks on Palestinians in Gaza under the pretext of hitting Hamas targets. The Gaza Strip has also been under an inhumane Israeli siege since 2007 and witnessed three wars since 2008.
Tensions have been running high near the Gaza fence since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests, dubbed “The Great March of Return,” demanding the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
