Dr. Abdul Aziz Ranteesi, one of the prominent Hamas Movement leaders in the Gaza Strip, has urged military wings of all resistance factions to strike the Zionist enemy anywhere and at any time without inhibition.
Ranteesi, speaking at an urgent rally held by the Islamic bloc in the Islamic University in Gaza yesterday to protest the Zionist massacre in Shuja'iah and Zaitun suburbs, advocated the severest retaliation as punishment to the bloodbath that left nine Palestinians killed and 50 others wounded four of whom in serious condition.
The Hamas leader said, "We must strike in Tel Aviv, Yaffa, Haifa ... martyrdom operations should target all cities in occupied Palestine to inflict the biggest number of casualties possible in lines of the enemy and to force it leave our lands".
He stressed that his Movement would chase Zionist killers everywhere, underlining that there was no other alternative to resistance.
Ranteesi denounced security meetings between the Palestinian Authority and the Zionist entity, which he said provided a cover-up for the enemy's terrorism against the Palestinian people. He also condemned international silence over occupation crimes.
