Hamas' Al Aqsa television station aired footage on Wednesday night of long-range M-75 rockets being manufactured by Hamas members as "irrefutable proof the Zionist enemy did not achieve its goals," according to Israel Hayom.
During Operation Protective Edge, Hamas fired M-75 rockets as far as the Tel Aviv and Dimona areas.
Wednesday's broadcast appeared to be an attempt by Hamas to show that it was continuing to build rockets, even under Israeli fire. In the background of the images broadcast by Hamas, a television is seen airing a report that appeared on Al Jazeera on August 7.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri said of the report: "This is irrefutable proof that the Zionist enemy did not achieve the goals it set for itself. The production of rockets is continuing all the time. ... The resistance will keep fighting to thwart the Zionist enemy."
Al Aqsa has long been used by Hamas as a propaganda outlet. It even features children programming, such as the anti-Semitic "Hamas Mickey Mouse" character, that teaches Islamic supremacy and hatred for jews.
