Gaza Cheap Eric Reid Jersey , Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Gaza-based factions on Saturday urged Egypt to reconsider an Egyptian court's decision that branded the armed wing of Islamic Hamas movement, the al-Qassam Brigades, a terrorist group.
Khader Habib, senior leader in the Islamic Jihad group in Gaza, told Xinhua that the decision of the Egyptian court "contradicts with the truth Cheap Daniel Kilgore Jersey ," adding "al-Qassam Brigades is a resistance group and doesn't intervene Egypt's internal affairs."
He said the move will serve the interests of neither Egyptians nor the Palestinians, and will only embolden the Israeli occupation.
An Egyptian court in Cairo decided earlier on Saturday that al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, "is outlawed and is a terrorist organization," according to the Egyptian Middle East News Agency (MENA). The decision said the group aimed at creating instability in the country.
The decision said that al-Qassam Brigades is involved in a series of terrorist attacks carried out in Egypt and also used the tunnels under the borders with the Gaza Strip to finance terrorist groups in Egypt.
"The decision of the Egyptian court is purely political Cheap Bradley Pinion Jersey ," said Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas spokesman, in an emailed press statement, urging the court to review it "immediately."
"Hamas, a liberation movement that only fights the Israeli occupation Cheap Joe Staley Jersey , completely rejects the court's decision and rejects pushing its name into the internal Egyptian affair," said Abu Zuhri.
On Thursday and earlier on Friday, around 45 Egyptian soldiers and civilians were killed in the Egyptian Peninsula of Sinai in a series of bombing attacks by militants, who said on Twitter they belong to the Islamic State.
Several Egyptian media accused Hamas armed wing of being involved in the attack and in previous attacks carried out by militants against the Egyptian army in Sinai.
Al-Qassam Brigades had repeatedly denied the Egyptian media claims.
