IDF says Hamas has attempted to infiltrate Israel from the sea<\/h3>\n

Hamas\u00a0terrorists believe they will kill “a lot of\u00a0Israelis” if the country’s defence forces launch a ground invasion into Gaza, a negotiator in contact with the militants has told Daily Express US.<\/p>\n

Around 1,400 Israeli civilians were killed during Hamas attack on October 7. Israel has responded with weeks of bombardment, killing a reported 5,000 people in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Troops are also poised for a ground invasion of Gaza to root out the militants and retrieve over 200 hostages from the enclave.<\/p>\n

But Gershon Baskin, director of the International Communities Organization, which negotiated the release of a hostage from Hamas in 2011, says the group does not fear an Israeli attack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His last conversation with the terror group came just three hours before he spoke to Daily Express US.<\/p>\n

He said: “They will also say quite openly ‘we are not afraid to die, if the Israelis attack us on the ground we will kill a lot of them, we will have surprises for them, they shouldn’t underestimate our power’.<\/p>\n

“‘We are not afraid, let them come. We will kill them.'”<\/p>\n

Baskin is doubtful that Hamas will try and carry out another attack similar to the one that came earlier this month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added: “I don’t think they will try, I don’t think they can. They will attack when Israeli forces enter Gaza, that they will do. They have no food, water or fuel. But they have a lot of rockets.”<\/p>\n

Hamas and Israel are currently negotiating over the release of the over 200 hostages in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Khaled Meshaal, a key Hamas spokesperson, has said that hostages will only be freed if Israel stops bombardment of Gaza.<\/p>\n

Baskin says that, from his conversations with Hamas, he believes the group wants to negotiate a ceasefire as they did not anticipate just how extensive the Israeli bombing campaign would be.<\/p>\n
