Following the launch of 10 rockets toward Ashdod and Ashkelon on Sunday night, Hamas spokesperson Jihad Taha stated that the group possesses the capability to shake Israel. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Taha criticized the international community’s inaction against what he called Israel’s genocide and war crimes in Palestine, carried out by a fascist regime. He said the attacks on Ashdod and Ashkelon were acts of defense. Taha condemned Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit to the Temple Mount and vowed that as long as Israel continues its occupation, land seizures, and desecration of holy sites, the resistance will persist.
