Khalil al Haya, member of Hamas political bureau, denied reports on the presence of Daesh militant group in Gaza Strip.

Interviewed by "Palestine" newspaper out on Sunday, Haya said Hamas movement would not allow any disturbance of security in Gaza, noting that security information refuted claims on the operation of Daesh in the enclave.

He accused Fatah movement and the Palestinian Authority of exaggerating in the media campaign on Daesh presence in Gaza Strip, asserting that tensions between Hamas elements and some extremist Salafis supporting Daesh mainly took place after security elements arrested a number of Daesh supporters.
