Hamas Denies Responsibility for Protecting Gazan Civilians as Israel Battles Tunnels

Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official, stated in an interview that Hamas is not responsible for protecting civilians in Gaza and that the extensive tunnel network is solely for the protection of Hamas terrorists. He argued that the UN and Israel should take care of the needs and safety of Gazan civilians. Abu Marzouk's comments come as Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas and its infrastructure, including the tunnels, following recent attacks by the terror group.
