"We are in one big prison which Israel is controlling by land, air and sea. So we must continue our resistance," Hamad said. "We are the owners of this land and although the United States supports Israel, we will have our state."
Although Hamas largely maintained an unofficial truce during the week-long evacuation, the Israeli army's killing of five militants in the West Bank Wednesday has raised tensions.
"If they continue killing us and carrying on settling the West Bank, controlling our borders and our economy, and cutting off the air we breathe, we will not be able to continue much longer without reacting," Hamid warned.
