Hamas says Israel's nationwide civil-military readiness drill is not only meant to rebuild their army's confidence but is also a preparation for the start of an actual war, Press TV reported.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said Israel wants to boost the morale of its army, which lost miserably on two fronts - with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"What is needed from Arab and Islamic states is to unite against any Israeli plans, calling on all Palestinians to unite and encourage the resistance to protect the land," Barhoum said.
