Hamas vows to continue long war of attrition against Israel  

The spokesperson for Hamas's military wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced the group has decided to "continue a long and painful war of attrition" against Israel.

Abu Obaida, the spokesperson, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing ceasefire negotiations.

He warned that the deadly incident in late August, where six captives died in southern Gaza, could happen again "due to the policies of Netanyahu and his government".
