WATCH: Senior Hamas Official Pledges To Repeat Oct. 7 Massacre Until Israel Is Destroyed - 'We Are A Nation Of Martyrs'

On Wednesday, a clip surfaced online of a senior Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad, speaking on Lebanon's LBC TV and admitting that Hamas wishes to continue to launch the same kind of attacks that devastated southern Israel on October 7th and led to the deaths of over 1,400 Israelis and 32 Americans. The footage, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, shows the barbarity of the Hamas terrorists in their mission to destroy the Israeli people.

"Israel is a country that has no place on our land," Hamad began. "We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation and must be finished. We are not ashamed to say this, with full force."

"We must teach Israel a lesson, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight," he said in reference to the October 7th attack. "Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs."

"We do not want to harm civilians, but there are complications on the ground, and there was a party in the area with civilian population. It was a large area, across 40 kilometers," he attempted to claim despite direct evidence showing that Hamas terrorists deliberately targeted civilian areas. 

"The occupation must come to an end," he said, adding that such an end to occupation would mean the end of Israel.

"The existence of Israel is illogical. The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood, and tears. It is Israel, not us," the Hamas official argued. 

"We are the victims of the occupation. Period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do," he said, adding that "everything we do is justified."

While Hamad has insisted that they will continue their attacks against Israel if allowed, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has called on Palestinian "women, children, elderly" to die in Gaza amidst the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ongoing ground operation.

"I call on everybody – all the free people of the world, all the friendly countries, all the brotherly [Arab] countries, and all the allies – to exert all the necessary pressure, in all directions and in all forums, in order to end the aggression against Gaza, to stop this war against our children, women, and elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes," he said, as reported by The Daily Wire. "This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop."

"I have said this before, and I say it time again: The blood of the women, children, and elderly… I am not saying that this blood is calling for your [help]," he continued. "We are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens within us resolve, so it awakens within us the spirit of challenge, and [pushes us] to move forward."
