Senior leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Osama Hamdan, accused the Israeli occupation of using internationally banned weapons, and warned against trying to empty the Gaza Strip of its residents by removing the wounded. He also condemned the White House’s statements regarding the future of the Strip.

Hamdan said - in a press conference - that the occupation uses internationally banned weapons in its aggression against Gaza, such as white phosphorus and other weapons that not only kill, but also melt limbs and tear bodies into pieces. He revealed that dozens of martyrs arrived in hospitals with burnt body parts, accusing the American administration of supplying Israel with this weapon to bomb the Palestinians.
