GAZA, Sept. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Saed Seyam, a senior leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza Strip, ridiculed on Saturday statements made by Israeli Defense Minister Shaol Mofaz that Israel will send destroying and painful messages to Hamas. Seyam told reporters that Hamas doesn't scare of Mofaz's threats and the movement got used to such threats and such crimes against its senior leaders and members.

    The "Zionist" war machines didn't succeed in breaking the willpower of the Palestinian people or destroy our movement, headded.

    Seyam stressed that his movement will continue its path of resistance until forcing the occupation out the entire homeland. Threatening Hamas movement means threatening all the Palestinian people, he highlighted.

    Meanwhile, Hamas armed wing of al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility in series of written leaflets sent to reporters for launching some 33 homemade rockets at several towns in the Negevregion in southern Israel, which left five Israelis moderately and lightly wounded. Enditem
