Hamas spokesman sees Hezbollah strengthening
The Hamas in the Gaza Strip claims that the Israeli attacks could only strengthen Hezbollah. A senior Hamas official told Newsweekthat killing Hezbollah chief Nasrallah could only strengthen the Lebanese group. “The most important question is: Will the assassination of a leader of Hamas or the party (Hezbollah) make Israel safer?” asked Basem Naim, a member of the Politburo and spokesman for Hamas in the interview.
“Is Israel’s problem with armed groups with limited objectives that can be eliminated by assassinating their leaders, or with peoples who have rights they have sought for decades and have not given up despite the assassination of many leaders? “Has any resistance group disappeared after the assassination of its leaders?” said the Hamas spokesman. “They have all become stronger and have become more widespread.” Israel has achieved tactical successes with its military operations, but it is losing the strategic battle. It is the case that the operation was successful and yet the patient died.
