Hamas official issues sinister warning as he vows to repeat horrific terror attack on Israel: 'We will do it again'

"We are victims - everything we do is justified."

He defended the organisation’s gorilla attacks that claimed over 1,400 Israeli lives on October 7 and which prompted the start of a full-scale invasion of the Gaza Strip.

WATCH NOW: Hamas' Ghazi Hamad's warning to Israel

Hamad declared: "Israel is a country that has no place on our (Palestine’s) land."

"That nation must go because it poses a military and political threat to the security of the Arab and Islamic countries and must be destroyed."

"There will be a second, third, and fourth because we have the will, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight," he continued.

Hamad stated that Hamas were willing to attack Israel as many times as deemed necessary.

He references October 7 attack, as the Al-Aqsa mosque flood, which he states was only the first time.

The interview that went viral today on social media, was first posted online on October 24.

"Will there be a cost involved?," Hamad rhetorically questioned.

• Hamas commander dead after refugee camp bombing destroys crucial underground terror network
• Netanyahu declares 'this is a time for war' and rejects ceasefire as 'surrender'
• Israeli forces strike 300 Hamas targets in 24 hours as troops push ahead with ground invasion of Gaza

"Indeed, and we’re prepared to pay for it.

"We are proud to sacrifice martyrs because we are known as a nation of martyrs," he stated.

Hamad stated that Hamas did not intend to harm civilians, but "complications on the ground" hindered this.

Speaking about the Supernova music festival in which over 260 people died, the Hamas official said: "There was a party in the area with (civilian) population. It was a large area, across 40km."

He ended by demanding that the occupation of Palestinian land must come to an end.

When the interviewer questioned if this meant the "annihilation of Israel", he replied: "Yes, of course."

"The existence of Israel is illogical," he stated.

"The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood and tears.

"It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of this occupation. Period."

Last night, a senior Hamas commander, Ibrahim Biari, was killed in an attack at Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza.

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said at least 50 people were killed and 150 have been wounded.

The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has confirmed that Israeli fighter jets carried out the strike.

Over 8,300 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis have died since the conflict began last month.
