“We shelled Tel Aviv in 2012 and again in 2014. This is not the first time we would be shelling Tel Aviv. We have the ability to shell even farther than Tel Aviv. In 2012, we shelled Tel Aviv, which is 80 km away. Then in 2014, we shelled Haifa, which is 160 km away. Now, we are capable of shelling farther than Haifa.”MEMRI, “Hamas official: ‘Our missiles can strike anywhere in Israel,’” Jewish News Syndicate, December 3, 2018, https://www.jns.org/hamas-official-our-missiles-can-strike-anywhere-in-israel-iranian-support-is-the-basis-of-our-steadfastness/.

“And this is what we required today since we have mentioned that Palestine and Jerusalem is a big umbrella that gathers all of us; so that means we need some practical steps to move forward like how to confront the Israeli hegemony in the region, how to confront the Zio-American hegemony in the region. We are elites and we have big responsibilities that we have to do in front of our nations.”Mohammad Ali Haqshenas, “Palestine a big umbrella that gathers all Muslims: Hamas rep.,” Mehr News Agency, November 26, 2018, https://en.mehrnews.com/news/139908/Palestine-a-big-umbrella-that-gathers-all-Muslims-Hamas-rep.
