Hamas Threatens To Kill Hostages Over Israel Air Strikes On Gaza

Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip over the past three days after Hamas terrorists surged into southern Israeli towns in a surprise attack that has left hundreds killed.

Palestinian group Hamas threatened Monday to kill hostages if the Israeli army carried out air strikes without prior warning targeting residents of the Gaza Strip.

"Every targeting of our people without warning will be met with the execution of one of the civilian hostages," the Ezzedine al-Qassem Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement.

"The enemy doesn't understand the language of humanity and ethics, so we'll address them in the language that they understand."
