He also added that in the event of a ground invasion of Gaza, allied groups would intervene.
" The war in Gaza is a Palestinian battle and the decision to enter it was a Palestinian decision made by Hamas and its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, along with Palestinian resistance factions," he said in a statement . interview for the Associated Press.
Hamas officials have denied that Iran was directly involved in planning the deadly attack or that it gave it the green light, and to date no government worldwide has provided direct evidence that Iran orchestrated the attack. However, many have pointed to Iran's long-standing sponsorship of Hamas that has included training, financing and supplying it with weapons.
Abdul-Hadi said Hamas allies Iran and Hezbollah would not allow Israel to "crush Gaza" or launch an "all-out ground attack" but that the groups had deliberately left unclear when and how they would respond. "It depends on developments in the situation at the time."
" In the event of a ground attack, regardless of its level, or if more and more massacres continue to be carried out in Gaza and Hamas is using its resources, there will be unexpected surprises," he said .
