With a chilling new threat, Hamas promises to carry out "worse and greater" terror attacks on Israeli civilians

In a recent statement, Hamas’s armed wing spokesperson, Abu Obeida, has vowed to conduct further terror attacks against Israeli civilians, ominously warning that the upcoming actions will be “worse and greater.” This comes over two months after a deadly attack in southern Israel, where 1,200 people were killed during a music festival or while fleeing their homes.

Referring to a recent shooting attack on a bus stop in Jerusalem, Obeida emphasized the severity of what lies ahead. The November 30 incident resulted in the tragic deaths of three Israeli civilians.

Obeida also issued a threat of executing Israeli hostages unless Hamas’s demands are met, claiming that an exchange and negotiation are necessary for their release. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded with a stern warning to surrender immediately or face certain consequences.

As clashes between Hamas and Israel persist, hopes for a ceasefire are dwindling. Israeli tanks are advancing westward in their battle against Hamas, particularly around Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, prompting calls for a ceasefire to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

The international community, represented by the United Nations, faces challenges in reaching an agreement for a ceasefire, with the United States recently vetoing a UN Security Council proposal for humanitarian reasons. The situation has raised concerns about the escalating conflict and its impact on the region.

While the conflict unfolds, reports of a dire health situation in Gaza have surfaced, leading to calls for a global strike as a coordinated effort to pressure Israel into a ceasefire. The United Nations General Assembly is expected to vote on a draft resolution demanding a ceasefire, emphasizing the urgency of averting a humanitarian catastrophe.

As the conflict persists, the city of Khan Younis is on the brink of collapse, facing the potential spread of epidemic diseases. The situation is exacerbated by conflicting claims from both sides, with Israel asserting that Hamas fighters have surrendered and Hamas countering with the destruction of Israeli military vehicles.

Amid these developments, concerns of the conflict spreading to Lebanon, backed by Iran, and other neighboring regions persist, further complicating the efforts to reach a resolution. The international community, led by the United Nations, continues to grapple with the complexities of the situation, highlighting the need for urgent diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the conflict.
