Bethlehem – Ma’an – The Al-Qassam Brigades threatened to widen their projectile attacks in a broadcast addressing Israelis aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV Monday.
“We promise you that our target-sites will be vulnerable at all times and open to attack any time of day,” said Hamas’ military wing spokesman Abu Ubayda. “We will expand our targets,” he said.”
Tel Aviv and the Israeli nuclear site at Dimona have not yet been targeted, said Abu Ubayda, but we will not hesitate to launch projectiles at these sites if Israel continues its attack at the one and a half million people of the Gaza Strip.
Our targets will also become the soldiers now in Israel, the spokesman assured. “Your fried Gilad Shalit is missing and we promise to bring him company.” Your land invasion will do nothing but insure the return of Palestinian prisoners when we swap them for the Israeli soldiers.
Israeli shelling has not weakened the Brigades, said Abu Ubayda, the brigades are powerful and there members are ready for any attack.
He also accused Israel of covering-up the casualties of Brigades attacks, and of the larger conspiracy of denying the failure of the land invasion.
We have destroyed a tank and an Israeli military vehicle with a new type of explosive we are using, he said. We have new projectiles and many other surprises for Israeli troops.
He promised that there will be thousands of combatants and waiting for Israeli troops when they leave their tanks.
