Deputy Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said on Friday that the organization is digging new tunnels and testing rockets in order to develop and improve them.
"The resistance is digging east of Gaza and conducting rocket tests west of Gaza on a daily basis," he said.
"Tunnels underground, and rocket above the ground," said Haniyeh.
"We are continuing on the path of jihad and towards the territories' liberation.
Meanwhile, Yisrael Beytenu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon's handling of the terrorist group.
"The sounds of digging from deep underground heard by the residents of the Gaza border area, like the wave of terror attacks, are a direct result of Operation Protective Edge's failure and the immunity Hamas got from Netanyahu and Ya'alon," Lieberman said.
