"Our message to this murderous and criminal settler: Your hands which are stained with the blood of children will not stop killing until they are cut off and you leave our homeland," it added.

"The enemy’s threats to target the leadership of the movement is a declaration of war, which we will respond," the statement said, adding that those Threats reveal the true intentions of the Israeli Zionist forces who initiated the attack violating the cease-fire agreement which was under Egypt’s sponsorship in 2014.

"We reaffirm our right to respond to any attack, including our right to respond to the Israeli attack on the tunnel belonging to al-Qassam brigades East of Deir al-Balah, which led to killing of 12 fighters," it added.
