Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, has said that Israel did not give his movement 24 hours, ending Saturday night, to stop the firing of rockets at Israeli targets.
He told the Palestine.online website on Saturday that reports of an Israeli warning to Hamas to control the field conditions were not true.
He accused Israel of triggering the latest round of violence in the region when it assassinated Zuhair Qaisi, the secretary general of the popular resistance committees.
Abu Zuhri, meanwhile, said that dialogue is the only means to solve differences over reconciliation issues between Hamas and Fatah.
The spokesman said that his movement was keen on concluding reconciliation, denouncing in this respect Fatah statements that Hamas was the one obstructing the process.
