Gaza: Hamas takes page out of North Korean book of diplomacy and threatens to 'pummel' Israel

(Gaza City) The leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, issued a threat to the Jewish nation on Wednesday where he threatened to “pummel” Israel if necessary.
"Hamas is not seeking a confrontation, but if such a confrontation should arise, Hamas will pummel Israel."
Sinwar, who was appointed as Ismail Haniyeh's replacement last February, warned Israel against "taking stupid steps against Gaza", adding that "the Palestinian resistance has the ability to respond to that." He also made it clear that Hamas was prepared for a confrontation and claimed that the organization's strength was greater than it was during Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
"Israel is not launching a new war against Gaza, which stresses its fear of the unknown that awaits it in Gaza."
The last war Hamas won against Israel.
