News - Hamas accuses US of participating in ‘aggression against the Palestinian people’

Hamas has accused the US of carrying out "aggression against the Palestinian people" after Washington sent a naval strike group to the eastern Mediterranean. These moves do not intimidate the Palestinian or their resistance, which will continue to protect the people and holy places, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said. The US Navy's strike group includes the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which is accompanied by guided-missile destroyers and guided-missile cruisers. Also, the US is sending more fighter jets to the Middle East as a deterrent to Hezbollah and other militant groups opposed to Israel in Lebanon, officials said.
