A general strike took place on Wednesday in the city of Jenin in mourning for the martyrs who fell in the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) yesterday in the Jenin refugee camp. The streets of Jenin were empty of citizens and vehicle movement, while shops and service establishments closed their doors in mourning and in condemnation of the IOF crimes.
Six citizens were martyred last night in an airstrike by the IOF in a cowardly assassination in the Jenin camp.
The Hamas Movement mourned the heroic martyrs of Jenin who fell in this brutal massacre, emphasizing that their “pure blood will not go in vain and will ignite a flame that burns the occupation and shatters the prestige of its security apparatus.” They stated that the escalation of the IOF brutal aggression against the West Bank provinces, particularly the airstrikes on the Jenin camp, will not succeed in breaking the people’s will and the determination of its valiant resistance, which is not intimidated by the IOF brutality.
Hamas clarified that this crime came just hours after the launch of the national initiative to end the Palestinian Authority’s security campaign against the Jenin camp and its resistance, “and the PA’s failure to respond to it, along with the gunfire and the prevention of ambulances from entering the camp, holding it responsible for its partnership in the Zionist crime and its refusal of national calls to halt its aggression against the camp.”
The Movement called on “our heroic people in the West Bank to escalate all forms of resistance and to enhance unity and solidarity under the option of confrontation and struggle until the occupation is expelled from our land and holy sites.”
