PALESTINIAN resistance groups vowed to continue their defence of civilians after Israel launched rockets in a series of air attacks on Gaza, breaking a fragile ceasefire for the second time on Thursday.
Hamas, the ruling party in the besieged Palestinian enclave, said that the latest bombardment, which hit a number of civilian structures, was “a demonstrative show by the new Israeli government.”
Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said: “The resistance will be on the lookout in defence of our people, our people and our holy sites.”
