Hamas: Qassam fire is harming Palestinian interests
2008-06-27
The Hamas government in the Gaza Strip voiced its rage on Thursday after Gaza militants fired two rockets into southern Israel Thursday, causing no injuries but further straining a shaky, week-old truce between Israel and the Gaza rulers.
'Voiced its rage'? Does that mean they stamped their tiny little feet and made angry faces?
The militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, affiliated with Hamas rivals Fatah, claimed responsibility for Thursday's Qassam strikes. In a statement carried by the official Palestinian news agency Ma'an, Hamas warned the militant factions against violating the terms of the cease fire with Israel, saying such violations harmed the Palestinian national interest. Hamas also threatened to take the necessary steps against the violators.

A Hamas spokesman said the 'tahadiyeh' (calm) was a national Palestinian interest, and that anyone who tried to sabotage it was acting in an 'anti-national' way. He called on Egypt, which brokered the cease fire agreement, to talk to those factions that are 'motivated by anti-national politics.'

The Hamas government spokesman added that harming the national interest for the purpose of settling personal scores 'works to advance the interests of the Israeli occupation.'
