Hamas may target Israeli ministers
Hamas would target Israeli ministers if Tel Aviv orders the assassination of its ministers, a senior Hamas official has threatened. In case of "any Israeli stupidity of targeting Hamas leaders or ministers, Hamas will likewise take action," Mushi al-Masri said in a statement. The statement was issued after the regime threatened to assassinate senior Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip. "Vis-à-vis the Israeli threats to target ministers, Prime Minister Ismail Haniya or any other leader, al-Qassam Brigades would treat the Israelis on the principle of head for head and minister for minister," the statement read according to DPA. Israel considers Gaza as a 'hostile entity' and has imposed a suffocating blockade on the impoverished coastal region in a bid to counter Hamas which refuses to consider Israel as a legitimate state.
