GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement denounced the Israeli destruction of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing on Wednesday as “criminal behavior” that “will not change the crossing’s reality.”
“It is an act of terrorism by the occupying Israeli army to destroy the Rafah crossing with all its buildings and facilities, an escalation of crimes and violations against our people,” said the Palestinian Resistance Movement.
It said that the Israeli army is attempting “to isolate Gaza from the world and perpetuate the destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure,” describing the attempt as “fascist”.
Hamas said the crossing would remain a Palestinian-Egyptian crossing. “This is a criminal behavior but will not change the crossing’s reality.”
Hamas noted that the crossing will “be rehabilitated under a Palestinian initiative once the occupation is ousted and aggression against Gaza ceases.”
