The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) denounced Germany’s intention to agree to send about 10,000 artillery shells to the Israeli army.
The movement said in a statement on Wednesday that this step “turns Germany into a direct partner in the war against our people in Gaza,” and considered that Germany “bears full political and moral responsibility for the war crimes committed by the Nazi Zionist government and the genocidal war against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.” .
She stressed that the Palestinian people “will not forget and will not forgive anyone who participated in the aggression against them or gave cover to this criminal enemy who violated all taboos.”
The German magazine “Der Spiegel” revealed yesterday, Tuesday, that government departments in Germany had approved an Israeli request to obtain 10,000 precision-guided 120 mm artillery shells.
The newspaper indicated that the German government “is considering supplying Israel with missiles to support it in fighting Hamas in Gaza, after the relevant departments approved Tel Aviv’s request.”
She pointed out that Berlin “received last November a request to supply the Israeli army with artillery shells,” noting that the two sides “agreed to remain silent about the operation, given that Tel Aviv does not want to allow any conclusions to be drawn regarding its military capabilities.”
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza that, as of Wednesday morning, left 24,448 martyrs and 61,504 injured.
