A senior Hamas official has vowed they will continue to attack Israel until the country is destroyed.

Speaking to Memri, a research organisation based in the US, Ghazi Hamad said: "We will repeat the October 7 attack time and again until Israel is annihilated.

"We are victims - everything we do is justified."

He defended the organisation’s gorilla attacks that claimed over 1,400 Israeli lives on October 7 and which prompted the start of a full-scale invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Ghazi declared: "Israel is a country that has no place on our (Palestine’s) land."

"That nation must go because it poses a military and political threat to the security of the Arab and Islamic countries and must be destroyed."

“There will be a second, third, and fourth because we have the will, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight,” he continued.

Ghazi stated that Hamas were willing to attack Israel as many times as deemed necessary.

He references October 7 attack, as the Al-Aqsa mosque flood, which he states was only the first time.

“Will there be a cost involved?," he questioned.

“Indeed, and we’re prepared to pay for it.”

“We are proud to sacrifice martyrs because we are known as a nation of martyrs," he stated.
