A senior official of the Hamas terrorist organization, Rafat Nassif, told the Al-Arabia network Thursday that his organization “will not agree to an attack on the tunnels that connect the Gaza Strip with Egypt.”

“We reject any attempt to attack the tunnels and any obligations that will harm it. As long as there is an occupation – the opposition will continue,” Nassif said in a telephone conversation from Ramallah.

Arab sources stated earlier that Hamas has agreed to Egypt’s proposed ceasefire.
