GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories, June 8, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that the "resistance will continue" after deadly fighting in a central Gaza refugee camp where Israel had mounted a hostage rescue operation.

"Our people will not surrender, and the resistance will continue to defend our rights in the face of this criminal enemy," Haniyeh said in a statement, after the Hamas-run government media office reported 210 people killed in Nuseirat camp.
