GAZA STRIP (BNO NEWS) – Hamas announced that thirteen terror groups have come together in order to launch a wave of more effective attacks on Israel as a response to the Israel-Palestine resumed peace talks.

Hamas criticized the direct peace talks after considering that its goal is to eliminate the Palestinian cause. Palestinian President Abbas was accused by Hamas for allowing Israel to build settlements in the West Bank and denying refugees in return.

The Islamic Resistance Movement hinted that the renewed attacks may include suicide bombings as a Hamas spokesman said that all options are open.

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that Abbas does not have a mandate to negotiate with Israel, and the Palestinians would not recognize any agreement.

This week, Hamas militants perpetrated two shooting attacks in the West Bank area. As a result, four Israeli citizens were killed and 2 injured.
