Hamas official promises worse attack on Israel than Oct. 7: “A future liberation battle, and not just Oct. 7”
Interviewer: “Were you to go back to Oct. 6 [2023], would you carry out Oct. 7 (i.e., Hamas’ massacre on Israel)?”
Hamas Political Bureau member Osama Hamdan: “Why do some people assume we would relinquish our role and our resistance?”
Interviewer: “In other words, there is no regret?”
Osama Hamdan: “Regret over how we crushed the Gaza Division, an entire division in the [Israeli] occupation army?”
Interviewer: “You told me that if the Israelis will come back to carry out new arrests after emptying the prisons (i.e., Israeli-Hamas exchange deal), you would carry out an additional operation (i.e., terror attack). Can you promise a new Oct. 7?”
Osama Hamdan: “I can promise a future liberation battle, and not just Oct. 7.”
Interviewer: “In the foreseeable future?”
Osama Hamdan: “I don’t think it will be long. What happened on Oct. 7 and what happened after it clarified that the future of this [Zionist] entity in the region is not guaranteed.”
