Hamas has completed preparation plans to counter an expected "Israeli" occupation army invasion of the Gaza Strip, the military wing of the Islamic organization announced on Monday. "The areas in the Strip that the "Israelis" are used to entering without resistance are full of surprises," Abu Oviada, a spokesperson for the group told the London-based newspaper Al-Hayat. He added that Hamas has internalized the mistakes of the past, and armed itself with top-of-the-line weapons.
Oviada also commented on recent "Israeli" occupation operations in Gaza, saying that "Israel" has succeeded in destroying only one percent of the group's Qassam rocket launching capacity.
With regards to Iran, the spokesperson confirmed that Hamas is in constant contact with the Islamic state, as well as with Hizbullah. He denied, however, either Iran or the Lebanese resistance group was training Hamas operatives.
