Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson of Hamas's military wing, the Qassam Brigades, has warned Israel against invading Gaza amid an Israeli military build-up around the besieged Palestinian territories.
"Amid suggestions of a ground operation, we say: Any ground incursion in the area in the Gaza Strip will be an opportunity to increase our share of dead and captured soldiers from the enemy, and we are ready to teach [Israel] harsh lessons," Abu Ubaida said in a statement.
