‘WHY DOESN’T HAMAS INVEST IN HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS?’
Posted on
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major General Yoav Mordechai, was interviewed by UK media sources on Thurs. 14 Dec. 2017 and delivered a clear message to Gaza terrorists. Noting that 15 rockets fired from Gaza had exploded in Israel over the last ten days, Mordechai said, "We found two tunnels inside the sovereign territory of Israel. Israeli genius and the Jewish brain have found a solution to the tunnels and are continuing to find solutions. Just like there is an aerial Iron Dome, there is an underground Iron Dome and an offensive Iron Dome." He added that 13 terrorists were killed inside the two tunnels that were discovered under Israel's sovereign territory. "Over the last three years there have been incidents inside Gaza and 30 people were killed in 31 tunnels. Over the past three years, more than $150 million has been invested by Hamas in the tunnels. Why did not they invest in hospitals, or in schools?" said Mordechai, who then conveyed a clear message to Gaza, "Israel does not want escalation, but Israel will stand with all its might if Hamas continues to harm Israeli sovereignty and if it continues to fire rockets.” The BBC interviewer complained that the IDF's response to the rocket fire – which comes in the form of airstrikes on Hamas targets – was too exaggerated.
Major General Mordechai replied, "The question is who is responsible for the terror coming out of Gaza? The responsibility lies in Hamas in Gaza, and it is responsible for and clearly stands behind all the rocket fire that comes, no matter who fires the actual rocket – lone terrorists, jihadists or others. I want to convey a clear message: Hamas and the people of Gaza still remember the results of the war three years ago. I just heard the words of Ismail Haniyeh, who is the head of the terrorist organization. What has Hamas brought after 30 years? Only hunger, poverty, destruction and war," continued Mordechai, who noted that Israel has the full authority to protect its citizens. "Any rocket that is fired will be met with a harsh response. If Hamas wants escalation, it will continue to allow extremist organizations to fire at Israel. If it does not want escalation, it should stop the fire entirely, completely and immediately." (INN)Intercede that the rule of the Hamas terrorist organization will come to an end in Gaza and replaced by capable men and women who have a vision for Gaza’s growth and well-being. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.” Prov 29:2
