The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, admitted on Wednesday that it had used 'deceptive methods.' In a statement posted on its official website, the group acknowledged employing tactics that included disinformation and covert actions. Representatives of the movement explained that such methods were necessary to ensure the safety of its fighters and achieve tactical objectives. The statement also emphasizes that Hamas remains committed to its principles and operates within the framework of international humanitarian law. 'We acknowledge the use of certain tactics that allowed us to protect our people and launch precise strikes against the enemy,' the statement reads. 'This was a necessary measure in an asymmetric war.' The admission has sparked widespread media coverage and discussion among political analysts, many of whom view it as an acknowledgment of tactics employed during the recent conflict.
