Israel Accuses Hamas Rejection Of UN Resolution.
Israel says Hamas's
rejection of a current proposal for a Gaza truce deal with Israel shows the
"damage" done by the UN Security Council resolution demanding an
immediate ceasefire.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office
said Israel would not surrender to what it called the Palestinian armed group's
"delusional demands" as an end to the war and the complete withdrawal
of Israeli forces.
The US called the Israeli statement
"inaccurate in almost every respect" and insisting that Hamas's
response had been prepared before the Security Council vote.
The Israeli military meanwhile said, it
had confirmed that the deputy leader of Hamas's military wing, Marwan Issa, was
killed in a strike on a tunnel
complex beneath Nuseirat refugee camp about two weeks ago, while, spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said. "Marwan Issa
was eliminated in the strike."
