Hamas leader Osama Hamdan condemned the circulating images of the Israeli army as they humiliate children in the biting cold, mocking them. He stated, "So far, more than 21,000 martyrs have risen due to the aggression, in addition to 54,000 injured." He continued, "The enemy only succeeds in killing women and children, because Al-Qassam has shattered their illusions about Gaza, just as the resistance shatters their machinery before them." He pointed out that "Israel has used incendiary bombs in areas previously declared safe," noting that "the genocide war has surpassed all war crimes committed in modern history." He affirmed: "No displacement, no forced migration, and no breaking of our people, nor recovering of prisoners without submitting to the conditions of the resistance." He added, "Al-Qassam and the resistance factions have dismantled the enemy's plans regarding Gaza. Netanyahu has one option: to acknowledge failure in Gaza." He mentioned, "We have received proposals and initiatives from several countries and are open to anything that achieves the interests of our people, but we and our people do not seek temporary ceasefires; we want a comprehensive halt to the aggression." Hamdan warned all countries against engaging in Netanyahu's plans for what is called voluntary migration.
