Hamdan said: "We never failed to enter arms into Gaza during the high intensity of the war as the shelling was going on."

"It is our right to own weapons, and we shall continue to enter arms into Gaza and the West Bank. Let no one think that we shall surrender," Hamdan said.

"Rest assured that the resistance began to replenish its losses when the cease-fire went into effect," Hamdan said.

He added: "Those that believe that a number of aircraft carriers could monitor the sea and that satellites in space could monitor underground tunnels and prevent arms from entering into Gaza are delusional."

He explained that smuggling arms into Gaza was never a 'walk in the park' but rather a tough journey paid for in blood, sweat and tears. "However despite all this, arms will continue to flow as usual," Hamdan said.

"Things might get tougher. However, we are ready to continue so that the resistance would continue," he said.
