PrintHamas slams Fatah for shelling
Hamas criticized Fatah militants for undermining the Palestinian national interest by firing rockets into Israel.
In a statement carried by the official Palestinian news agency, Maa, Hamas leaders warned other militant factions against taking actions that threaten Hamas’ cease-fire with Israel in the Gaza Strip.
Fatah’s armed wing, the Al-Aksa Brigade, has fired several shells into Israel from Gaza since the June 19 cease-fire went into effect, and Islamic Jihad has fired rockets into Israel. Israel’s military has not responded, but Israel has delayed reopening border crossings along the Gaza-Israel line.
After firing its rockets into Israel, Islamic Jihad reportedly said it will adhere to the truce terms.
