Hamas says Israel's goal of eliminating it 'doomed to fail'
 [GEO.TV] Hamas's military wing on Thursday said Israel's objective to eliminate the militant group in Gaza was "doomed to fail", more than two months into war triggered by attacks on Israel.
Abu Obeida, spokesman for Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, also said in an audio recording that any further release of hostages held in Gaza depended on a "cessation of aggression".
Neither Israel's continued offensive nor "direct military operations" would bring the hostages home, he said.
"It is not possible to release enemy prisoners alive except by entering into negotiations."
