Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, in a televised speech, accused Israel of committing war crimes against civilians.
"Israel is turning to crimes against civilians after failing to defeat our fighters," Haniyeh said.
The leader also insisted that Palestinians would not leave Gaza or the West Bank and migrate to Egypt.
"Our decision is to remain in our land," Haniyeh added, while addressing Egypt in that part of the speech.
