Hamas did things that Isis did in past: Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs

In an interview with India Today TV, Acting Deputy Spokesperson of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Joel Lion defended Israel's actions during the ongoing conflict with Hamas. He condemned the brutality of Hamas, likening them to ISIS, and alleging they have committed terrible acts against Israeli civilians. He stressed that Hamas is the enemy and that Israel needs to continue gaining support to fight against them. When asked about the impending ground attack and potential civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, he replied that while it is a tragic occurrence, Israel's main aim is to target the Hamas infrastructure hidden within residential areas and hospitals, not civilians. Ambassador Lion further emphasised that Hamas is actively looking to use civilians as human shields against Israeli attacks, and they are not only a threat to Israel but to the world as a whole.
