Jerusalem — Palestinian militant group Hamas, which dragged off about 150 hostages in its surprise weekend assault on southern Israel, threatened on Monday to kill them if Israeli air strikes continue “targeting” Gaza residents without warning.
Fireballs repeatedly lit up the darkness of Gaza City Monday night as explosions sounded and sirens wailed. Libby Weiss, an Israeli military spokeswoman, said some Hamas militants “are still there right now”, after about 1,000 militants had penetrated the region on the Jewish Sabbath. “The military operation is still continuing,” Hossam Badran, a Hamas official, told AFP from Doha, adding that “there is currently no chance for negotiation on the issue of prisoners or anything else”.
On Monday, the Israeli army said its soldiers had “killed a number of armed suspects” who had crossed the border from Lebanon and that Israeli helicopters were striking targets in the area. “They butchered people in cold blood in an inconceivable way,” said Moti Bukjin of the Zaka religious volunteer group which helped collect the human remains.But for now its people appear to have put aside divisions that this year split the country, and even its military, and braced for what the right-wing veteran premier Netanyahu warned will be a “long and difficult war”.
Israeli strikes have levelled residential tower blocks, a large mosque and the territory’s major bank building.Palestinians in the West Bank have rallied in support and clashed with Israeli security forces, leaving 15 Palestinians dead since Saturday.
