Leader of Hamas political bureau has said the Operation al-Quds Sword, carried out in response to Israeli aggression was a heavy blow to the so-called plan for deal of century promoted by former US president Donald Trump.
Speaking to Doha-based Al Jazeera news channel on Wednesday night, Ismail Haniyeh said Palestinian resistance groups, led by Hamas, conducted the operation in support of the protesters at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the Palestinians living in Jerusalem al-Quds.
The campaign involved for the first time the firing of rockets at different parts of the occupied territories, he added.
Tel Aviv launched the bombing campaign against Gaza on May 10, after Palestinian retaliation against violent raids on worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque and the regime’s plans to force a number of Palestinian families out of their homes at Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem al-Quds.
Apparently caught off guard by unprecedented rocket barrages from Gaza as part of Operation al-Quds Sword, Israel announced a unilateral ceasefire on May 21, which Palestinian resistance movements accepted with Egyptian mediation.
