JAKARTA - Palestinian militant group leader Hamas Ismail Haniyeh said his party showed flexibility in talks on possible ceasefire deals and release of hostages, but on the other hand were also ready to continue fighting.

In his televised address, Haniyeh also called for a "poros resistance" to increase his attack, quoted from The Times of Israel February 28.

The resistance axis is a term often used by Iranian officials to refer to the country and a number of its allies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen to other Shia powers in Iraq and Syria.

Furthermore, the Hamas leader also called on Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank to conduct a march to the location of the conflict at Temple Mount on the first day of Ramadan.

Temple Mount, known to Muslims as the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, is considered the holiest place inTENance, where two alkitabiah Temples have ever been established, and the third holiest site in Islam, making it the point of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Meanwhile, Gaza's Ministry of Health on Wednesday announced that the death toll of Palestinians as a result of Israeli attacks in the region had reached 29,954 people and 70,325 others were injured.
