A top Hamas official has claimed that the terror group is 'not far off'
from launching a 'war of liberation' that he says will be bigger than
the October 7 incursion into Israel.

Hamas political bureau member Osama Hamdan made the stark claims in an
interview with Lebanese media outlet Bel Moubashar Online.

In the interview, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute
(MEMRI), he 'promise[d] that a war of liberation is coming, not just
another October 7,' adding that he thinks such an event is not far off.

Hamdan, in his late 50s, also expressed no regret for 'shattering an
entire division of the occupation army', referring to the 1,200
Israelis, almost all of whom were civilians, killed by Hamas during the
October 7 incursion.

The group targeted young women and children, as well as families,
killing thousands and kidnapping hundreds in the chaos of the incursion.

The terror group's gunmen were seen parading the body of 22-year-old
Shani Louk, who was partying with her friends hours before at the Nova
festival near Kibbutz Re'im, in the back of a 4x4 truck.

While her family held out hope that she was still alive, her family
confirmed her passing in late October, though the circumstances of her
death, as well as where and how the bone from her skull was found, are
not currently clear.

Hamas kidnapped 26-year-old Noa Argamani from the Nova festival, where
Shani was also taken.

Phone footage of the terrible day showed Noa being snatched from her
friends and begging for her life on the back of a motorcycle.

She was heard screaming: 'Don't kill me!'

It is not currently known where she is being held, or if she is even
still alive, as she was not one of more than 100 hostages released by
Hamas last week in exchange for a temporary ceasefire.

Her dying mother, currently battling stage four brain cancer, called on
US president Joe Biden and the Red Cross to intervene, and shared a
message for her daughter, saying: 'If I don't get to see you... please
know I love you very much.'

The Hamas political leader's stark warning comes as Israel's spy chief
has vowed to hunt down and kill the terror group's leaders 'wherever
they are in the world' even if it takes years.

Turkey responded by saying that Israel would bear 'serious consequences'
if it tried to carry out any assassinations on Hamas within its borders
or other countries.

The threat of extra judicial killing was met with a warning by a Turkish
intelligence source who was quoted as saying: The necessary warnings
were given to the interlocutors based on the news about the statements
of Israeli officials, and it was made clear to Israel that this would
lead to serious consequences.'

While Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has called Hamas a
'liberation organization' accused Israel of 'genocide' in the Gaza Strip.

He added that PM Benjamin Netanyahu 'will stand trial as a war criminal.'

Israeli TV station Kan has aired secret recordings from the head of the
country's security agency known as Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, 58, in a news
programme late on Sunday night.

Bar, who has been boss at Shin Bet for two years, compared the October 7
massacre that left at least 1,200 dead and more than 200 kidnapped to
Gaza as 'our Munich'.

In the clips broadcast by Kan, Bar can be heard saying: 'The war cabinet
gave us an objective, eliminate Hamas, and we are determined to do so.
This our Munich.'

In 1972, Palestinian terrorists attacked the Israeli team at the Munich
Olympics and killed 11 athletes and for years after the country wreaked
a bloody revenge against those responsible.

A later operation codenamed Wrath of God targeted nine members of the
group responsible, and they were tracked down in Rome, Paris and Beirut
and assassinated over a seven-year period.

Bar added: 'We are already learning our lessons from the events (of
October 7).

'It will be done anywhere needed, in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon,
Turkey, Qatar. It will take a few years, but we will be there to do it.

'Security responsibility is ours. Our duty is to provide both security
and a sebse of security.

'Unfortunately, on October 7, we did not succeed in doing that. I think
we are on an upward trajectory.'

In a letter to staff after the attacks Bar said: 'The responsibility is
mine. Despite a series of actions we carried out, unfortunately, on
Saturday we were unable to establish sufficient deterrence so as to
thwart the attack.
