GAZA-The Palestinian people have a right to resist the Zionist regime`s atrocities and defend the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the "Israeli" incursions, said a Palestinian government spokesman.
In an interview with Alalam, Qazi Hamd accused "Israel" of violating the ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance groups, stressing the need to counter "Israeli" attacks on Palestinian lands.
Violating the ceasefire, "Israeli" occupiers opened fire at four Palestinian fighters from Hamas near Gaza, killing three at the scene and badly wounding the fourth. Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources reported that the "Israeli" army shot dead another Palestinian allegedly also from Hamas.
"The only language the occupiers understand is the language of force," the spokesman said.
In a separate interview, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum told Alalam that the resistant group has the right to respond to the Zionist regime`s deadly attacks by "all means available until all Palestinian lands are freed."
