Local Editor

Zionist entity’s brutal assault on Gaza continued for the sixth day on Saturday, with the resistance persistent to go on with launching rockets on the occupied territories.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza surpassed 120 martyrs and 900 injured, according to medical sources in the besieged enclave.

Destruction in Gaza

The leader of the resistance movement, Hamas, in Gaza, Ismael Haniyeh, vowed that the rocket launch on the Zionist entity would continue.

“Hamas leaders do not fear Israel’s threats,” Haniyeh said in a statement.
“To the occupation, I say stop your war crimes against our people,” he added.

For his part, the Zionist premier, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Friday that in international pressure would not force Tel Aviv to stop its attack.

“No international pressure will prevent us from operating with full force against a terrorist organization that calls for our destruction,” Netanyahu said.

“We will continue to strongly hit all those who try to attack us, and we will continue to take determined and prudent action to protect our home front.”

He had barely finished speaking at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv when sirens wailed to warn of a volley of rockets approaching the city.

Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister said that preparations wre under way for a possible ground attack, with tanks and artillery massed along the border and some 33,000 reservists mobilized out of 40,000 approved by the cabinet.

Avigdor Lieberman said he expected a political decision on a possible ground operation within 48 hours.

"At the moment we are dealing with the first phase... air attacks," he told Channel One television.

"I imagine we shall decide tomorrow (Saturday) or the day after on the next stage," he said on Friday.

However such operation seems to be catastrophic to the occupation forces since it may lead to scores of deaths among them.
