Hamas said it would remain defiant after several deadly Israeli attacks on Palestinian targets in Gaza Strip that killed at least two Hamas resistance personnel. Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip on Saturday condemned the aerial rocketing, saying it demonstrated that the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip was not really over. "These criminal attacks are a clear proof that the Israeli occupation of Gaza is not really over," said Hamas spokesman Mahmoud al-Zahar. He told reporters in Gaza that Hamas would not give up the resistance as long as the occupation of the Palestinian homeland didn't end. "The resistance is the 'effect' and the occupation is the 'cause' and everybody knows that we can't remove the effect until and unless the cause is removed first."
