(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "If the Zionist regime decides to extend its aggressions to ground assaults, Gaza will turn into a graveyard for Israelis," Lebanese satellite television Al-Manar quoted a member of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Mushir Al-Masri as saying.
"The resistance is fully prepared to confront Israel and our clashes are intensifying," he said.
Meantime, different Palestinian resistance groups vowed that they would confront the Zionist regime's attacks on the Palestinian territories in Gaza.
In a meeting in Gaza on Friday night, they concluded that Israel is not serious about ceasefire, and underlined that they would confront the Zionist regime's attacks on the Palestinian territories in Gaza.
"We have agreed with other Palestinian groups that the occupiers are not serious about the implementation of a ceasefire," Hamas Spokesman Sami Abu Zahri said in a press conference at the end of the Palestinian resistance groups' meeting.
The Palestinian groups also issued a statement at the end of their meeting, and called on Arab and Islamic countries to show commitment to their undertakings and responsibility for terminating the Israeli aggression against Gaza.
They also warned the international community about the consequences of the Zionist regime's assault on Gaza.
Assaults on Gaza started on Wednesday when the Israeli military launched a series of new air and sea attacks against the Palestinians in the coastal territory.
Over 41 people have been killed and more than 350 others injured in the new wave of Israeli attacks.
Palestinian resistance groups took aim at a settlement near Jerusalem for the first time Friday, launching a rocket attack in a major escalation of hostilities as Israel pressed forward with relentless airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Israel called up thousands of reservists and massed troops along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion of the densely populated seaside strip could be imminent. The attack on the Israeli settlement, along with an earlier strike on the Zionists' capital Tel Aviv has frightened the Israeli regime.
Israel triggered the current fighting by assassinating the military chief of the ruling Hamas group, Ahmad al-Jabari on Wednesday followed by dozens of airstrikes on Gaza.
