Hamas denies connection with attack on 2 Israeli buses

Palestinian Islamic Movement (HAMAS) has denied charges of Israel Defence Minister Ehud Barak accusing the movement of involvement in the attack on two Israeli buses in the southern city of Eilat in Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 in which at least six people were killed. Hamas leader Dr. Salah Al-Bardaweel said warned against an Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip during the month of Ramadan saying, "the resistance will not stand hand folded and will respond strongly if Gaza was atttacked. He accused Israel of exporting its domestic economic crises and its security failure to Gaza Strip, as a pretext to alleviate the internal crisis which almost undermined the Israeli government.
