Hamas threatens "Israel" against incursion into Gaza

The Palestinian resistance of Izz al-Din al-Qassam, Hamas' military wing, warned `"Israel"` not to enter Gaza if it did not wish to sustain major losses. "We will use weapons the occupation has never known before," said Abu Ubaida, spokesman of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
He said the resistance was not afraid of threats by "Israeli" occupation military, but it was nevertheless preparing for a wide-scale ground invasion by the "Israeli" army.
According to Abu Ubaida, "Israeli" helicopters regularly circled over the Strip, and military tanks and other equipment were multiplying daily by the Seam Line, mainly in the east and north.
"The Palestinian resistance is ready to deal with this aggression," he said, "We will teach the enemy a lesson and send him home disappointed, just like many times before. We have nothing to lose, but this invasion will not be a walk in the park for the enemy. We will turn the Strip into a graveyard for the soldiers of the occupation."
An "Israeli" security source said that "everyone says we can't let the situation in Gaza Strip become like it was in Southern Lebanon. Eventually we'll have to stand behind those words."
During all recent security meetings, the question has not been whether or not to operate in the Strip, but when and how to do so.
