Sources in Hamas said earlier that as the 72-hour truce deadline concludes on Friday at 8 a.m., it will resume striking Israeli targets, Ynet reported. “The Al-Qassam Brigades and Jerusalem battalions will renew its attacks immediately with the end of the ceasefire period on Friday at 8 a.m.,” sources said. The statement came as an Israeli official said Jerusalem is willing to extend the ceasefire unconditionally, and Palestinian and Israeli delegations attended indirect, mediated talks in Cairo. Hamas terrorists all but disappeared from the lenses of the international media during Operation Protective Edge but now that IDF troops pulled out of the Gaza Strip, and IAF planes have halted their attacks, the terrorists are finally coming out of the woodwork. Al Jazeera correspondent Tamer Al-Mishal was given access to the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades militants and gave viewers an unusual glimpse on what’s happening behind Hamas’ closed doors.

Al-Mishal interviewed Hamas operatives and field commanders, one of them stressing they do not intend to leave their posts following the ceasefire and that they were ready to renew rocket fire and terror attacks against Israel if their demands – among other things, the lifting of the Gaza blockade and the building of a seaport – are not met. „Our rockets are still aimed at the Israeli vehicles and tanks that are staying in one place. We’ve blown up more than one of the enemy’s tanks in the border area,” one of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam militants serving at the armored unit told the reporter who toured their posts. He added that „at this point, we haven’t received orders from the command to leave the field. We’re at peak readiness. We’ll continue fighting in this place until the cruel enemy agrees to the resistance’s demands.” Another Hamas militant told the reporter, „We’re telling the enemy, which is under delusions he has won, that we’re still here on the border, with all of our measures, and ready to stand strong in this campaign until we achieve all of the conditions.”
