The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed – today, Monday – that the Israeli occupation’s threats to target its leaders inside and outside Palestine reflect the predicament that the occupation is experiencing, and represent a violation of the sovereignty of the sister countries in which the movement’s sons and leaders are located.
The media advisor to the head of the Political Bureau, Taher Al-Nono, said in a press statement that the occupation’s threats reflect the political and field impasse that the “enemy” is experiencing due to “the steadfastness of our heroic people and their valiant resistance.”
Al-Nono stressed that these threats do not frighten any of the movement’s leaders, whose “blood and the blood of their families are mixed with the blood of the patient Palestinian people.”
He stressed that “these threats represent a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the sister countries mentioned by the leaders of the Israeli enemy and a direct violation of their security, which requires pursuing the enemy and holding him accountable for his arrogance and arrogance.”
Shin Bet threat
Yesterday, the head of the Israeli Internal Security Service (Shin Bet), Ronen Bar, threatened to pursue Hamas leaders “everywhere” outside Israel “and eliminate them, even if it takes years,” recalling Israel’s reaction after the “Munich Operation” that targeted Israelis in Germany in 1972. .
In a recording broadcast by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, it was not clear when Bar made the statement or to whom. He said, “The mini-cabinet has set for us a goal of eliminating Hamas. This is our Munich. We will do it everywhere, in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Lebanon and in “In Turkey and in Qatar. It may take a few years, but we are determined to implement it.”
The head of the Shin Bet added, “The security responsibility lies with us, and it is our duty to achieve and feel security. Unfortunately, on the seventh of last October, we did not succeed in that, but I believe that we are in continuous development, and we are not waiting. We are drawing lessons from these events and transferring them to the fronts.” Others, not just to the Gaza Strip.”
He continued in the recording, “The extent of the threats to Israel is unprecedented during the last year before those events, and in those events also what was hidden was far from sight, and there are many things moving from under the ground.”
Munich process
By mentioning Munich, Barr was recalling what Israel did after the killing of 11 members of its Olympic team in 1972 when a group from the Palestinian “Black September” organization launched an attack during the Olympic Games in Munich, Germany.
Israel responded to that operation by carrying out an assassination campaign targeting activists and members of the organization over several years and in several countries.
Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas since the attack of last October 7, which targeted settlements around the Gaza Strip, and since that date it has launched a devastating aggression against the besieged Strip, leaving more than 15,000 martyrs and thousands wounded and missing, in addition to the horrific destruction of residential buildings, facilities, and even infrastructure.
