Hamas threatens large-scale missile attack despite ceasefire in sight

“We have prepared a serious missile attack that will hit Israel from Haifa in the north to Ramon Airport in the south and we have frozen it due to the ceasefire,” Hamas threatened Israel.

Rocket barrages were fired towards Gaza border communities merely two hours before the expected ‘mutual and unconditional’ ceasefire Israel and Hamas’ agreed upon on Thursday night.

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida warned Israel, “we have prepared a serious missile attack that would hit Israel from Haifa in the north to Ramon Airport in the south and we have frozen it due to the ceasefire.”

“If the enemy proves that they stand by the ceasefire and do not attack until 02:00 tonight, the missile strike will not take place,” Obeida added.
