Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader/WANA (West Asia News Agency) via REUTERS/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 7 (Reuters) - Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, told fellow Arab countries on Saturday that Israel cannot provide them with any protection despite recent diplomatic rapprochements. In a televised speech, Haniyeh addressed the Arab countries that have normalised ties with Israel in recent years. "We say to all countries, including our Arab brothers, that this entity, which cannot protect itself in the face of resistors, cannot provide you with any protection," he said. Haniyeh also said armed Palestinian factions intend to expand the ongoing battle in Gaza to the West Bank and Jerusalem.

"Some (Arab states) unfortunately started imagining that Israel could be the gateway for America to defend their security." In the years since 1973, Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel and several other Arab states have also since normalised ties, including some Gulf Arab states next to Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu has previously said the Palestinians should not be allowed to veto any new Israeli peace deals with Arab states. Tehran called Saturday's attack an act of self-defence by Palestinians. Dennis Ross, a former Middle East negotiator who is now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy in Washington, said of Saturday's attack: "This is all about preventing the U.S.-Saudi-Israel breakthrough."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to Israel's calculations at work in dealing with Hamas in Gaza. "The gap between Hamas and Islamic Jihad is rooted in the fact that Hamas has a political programme and governing authority, whereas the Jihad has neither," he said. However, Israeli officials say Islamic Jihad would not be able to fire rockets without approval from Hamas. An Islamic Jihad official offered a similar line. "That's why they (Hamas) focus their attacks in the West Bank," the regional diplomat said.

☆ Israeli strikes target Hamas in Lebanon and Gaza after rocket attack

GAZA CITY - Flames rise from the area after Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on the central part of the Gaza Strip, on April 07, 2023. "We strongly condemn the blatant Zionist aggression against Lebanon in the vicinity of Tyre at dawn today," Hamas said. The strikes came in response to rocket attacks from Lebanon towards northern Israeli areas, which Israeli officials blamed on Hamas. As the Israeli jets struck in Gaza, salvoes of rockets were fired in response and sirens sounded in Israeli towns and cities in bordering areas. An Israeli military spokesman said the Israeli operation was over for the moment.

The Israeli military said 34 rockets were launched from Lebanon, of which 25 were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome, anti-missile system. There was no claim of responsibility but an Israeli military official also said that Israel was working on the assumption that the attack was Palestinian-linked. "It's not Hezbollah shooting, but it's hard to believe that Hezbollah didn't know about it," Tamir Hayman, a former head of Israeli military intelligence said on Twitter. In response, Israel has hit targets in Gaza linked to Hamas, which it holds responsible for any attacks from the blockaded coastal strip.

REUTERS/Mohamad TorokmanJERICHO, West Bank, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a number of armed fighters on Monday during a raid on a refugee camp near the occupied West Bank city of Jericho aimed at capturing suspected Hamas militants, the Israeli military said in a statement. Five people were killed, governor of Jericho Jihad Abu al-Assal said, in the raid in Aqbat Jabr refugee camp in southern Jericho and eight were arrested, according to a statement published by official Palestinian news agency WAFA. The Palestinian health ministry said three people had been wounded, one critically, but gave no details on any dead. Ahead of discussions in Cairo with Egyptian officials hoping to prevent further escalation, Haniyeh indicated the raid could impact the talks.

GAZA, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Israeli aircraft struck in Gaza on Thursday in response to Palestinian rocket fire, days after the United States called for calm, but there was no immediate sign of a wider escalation in violence following days of tension. The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) said it had fired some of the rockets in response to the air strikes and the "systematic aggression" against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. In Gaza, activists rallied in support of women prisoners held by Israel after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees prisons, said he would push ahead with plans to toughen conditions for Palestinian prisoners. Ben-Gvir has vowed a crackdown on "benefits and indulgences" offered to Palestinian prisoners and ordered amenities including prisoner-operated bread ovens in some prisons to be curtailed. Cairo has also invited Hamas chief, Ismail Haniyeh, who currently resides between Qatar and Turkey, for separate talks next week, said a Palestinian official familiar with Egyptian mediation.

"Încetaţi imediat tirurile. Această escaladare se îndreaptă spre un război la scară mare. Liderii tuturor taberelor trebuie să se angajeze în favoarea unei detensionări. Un război în Gaza ar fi devastator şi cei care vor plăti preţul sunt oamenii simpli", a subliniat Wennesland într-un tweet.Ministrul israelian al apărării Benny Gantz a atenţionat marţi seara că loviturile israeliene asupra Fâşiei Gaza "nu sunt decât începutul" unei campanii a armatei israeliene, care "are încă multe ţinte în vizor" pentru a slăbi mişcarea islamistă Hamas ce deţine controlul asupra acestui teritoriu palestinian şi care a lansat de luni sute de rachete asupra Israelului. Aceste confruntări au făcut sute de răniţi în mai multe zile.

„Preşedintele Mahmoud Abbas a publicat un decret prezidenţial cu privire la organizarea de alegeri generale'', arată un comunicat difuzat de agenţia oficială de presă palestiniană Wafa. Mişcarea Hamas, care din 2007 deţine controlul în Fâşia Gaza, a salutat anunţul preşedintelui palestinian Mahmoud Abbas. Cele mai recente alegeri prezidenţiale palestiniene s-au desfăşurat în ianuarie 2005, iar ultimele alegeri legislative în ianuarie 2006. Potrivit cotidianului The Jerusalem Post, la începutul acestui an preşedintele palestinian Mahmoud Abbas a anunţat că a ajuns la un acord cu mişcarea Hamas pentru organizarea de alegeri parlamentare şi prezidenţiale. Anunţul a survenit după ce Abbas a primit o scrisoare din partea liderului Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, privind încetarea disputei dintre Fatah şi Hamas.
