Hamas condemned the Israeli Occupation's recent aggression, which targeted Lebanese citizens by detonating communication devices across various locations in Lebanon.

Hamas described the attack in a statement released Tuesday evening as a grave violation of international laws and norms, holding the Israeli Occupation government fully accountable for the consequences of this assault.

The group labeled the act as a "terrorist operation" within the broader context of what it called the "comprehensive Zionist aggression" against the region.

Hamas accused the “Israeli” government of adopting a policy of arrogance and tyranny, bolstered by American support that, according to the group, provides cover for Israeli actions.

The statement concluded with a warning that the escalation of violence would only lead to further failure and defeat for the “Israeli” state.

The attack resulted in the deaths of 8 individuals and left 2,800 others injured.
