Gaza, 8 Rabi’ul Akhir 1436/29 January 2015 (MINA) – The deputy head of Hamas’s political bureau Ismail Haneyya said that popular support for his group and its armed wing Al-Qassam Brigades will foil all smear campaigns.

Haneyya’s remarks came during the graduation ceremony of “Vanguards of the Liberation”, a military training camp for youths organized by al-Qassam Brigades, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Haneyya pointed to the suspicious attempts to target the Palestinian resistance’s popular support through aggression, siege, and incitement.

“Vanguards of the Liberation” is a strategic project to prepare the generation of victory and liberation, he added, saying that resisting the occupation has become a phenomenon in each and every Palestinian home.
