Gaza youths join training camps for future combats

A large number of Palestinian youths in the besieged Gaza say they have found a motivation to acquire military training to counter future Israeli aggressions following its genocidal war in summer, Qods News Agency reports.

Hatem, 14 who has already lived through three wars with Israel, is one of the many debut members of the Palestinian resistance who hopes he'll be ready to fight in the next one.

The young fighter is one of thousands of Palestinian youths who have already completed a week-long training course under the supervision of senior resistance members from the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.

"I will become a resistance fighter," AFP quoted the boy as saying during a graduation ceremony in Gaza.

Up to 17,000 youngsters graduated late last month from two military training camps in Gaza.
