Hamas asserts ‘impervious’ to Israeli assassinations as regime’s genocide rages on

A senior Hamas spokesman says  the resistance movement is deep-rooted in Palestine and that it will be not be affected by Israeli assassination of its leaders.

Sami Abu Zuhri made the remarks on Monday, after Israel killed four members of Hamas’s political bureau in less than a week since the occupying regime resumed its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The  assassinations came after Israel unilaterally broke a fragile two-month-long ceasefire agreement with Hamas and conducted deadly airstrikes across Gaza.

Abu Zuhri said the Zionist regime used the opportunity of the truce deal to gather information about Hamas officials in order to assassinate them.

"The blood of Hamas leaders and commanders is the same as that of the Gaza children and youth, and these assassinations will not prevent us from keeping on the path of struggle," he added.

Hamas political bureau member assassinated in Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza

Israeli forces assassinated senior Hamas political bureau member Ismail Barhoum in an airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, the fifth assassinated non-combatant politburo member in the past week.

The Hamas spokesman also noted that Israel today carries out filed executions on a daily basis in the besieged territory.

"What is currently happening in Gaza is much more horrific than the events over the 15-month genocide," he said.

Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, but it failed to achieve its declared objectives despite killing 50,082 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring more than 113,408 others.

The usurping entity accepted Hamas’s longstanding negotiation terms under the three-phase Gaza ceasefire, which began on January 19.

On March 18, however, Israel resumed its relentless bombing of Gaza in blatant violation of the truce.

Latest reports said, at least 23 Palestinians, including seven children, were killed in pre-dawn Israeli attacks and artillery shelling.

Most of the victims were in south and central Gaza, according to the reports.
