Hamas leader says Israel gets message amid Gaza tension

Gaza, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Islamic Hamas movement's politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh said Wednesday that the Palestinian armed resistance in the Gaza Strip said Israel got the message.

Haniyeh's remarks were made as he was checking the destruction caused to his headquarters in Gaza city, which was bombed on Sunday by Israeli warplanes missiles amid a wave of tension between Israel and Gaza militants.

"The headquarters of Hamas movement, which was bombed by the Israeli occupation's warplanes, will be reconstructed because it is the symbol of the Palestinian armed resistance," Haniyeh said in a statement.

After a rocket was fired from Gaza into central Israel, where several houses were destroyed and seven Israelis wounded in northern Tel Aviv, tension between Gaza's Hamas-led militants has been escalating with Israel.

Israeli warplanes carried out more than 50 airstrikes on Hamas security compounds and facilities, including the headquarters of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza city.
