WEST BANK, (PIC)
The Hamas Movement has called on the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to pool national and popular efforts and join forces to defend themselves against attacks by Israeli forces and settlers.
“The Zionist occupation continues to escalate its crimes against our people and intensify its barbaric strikes in the West Bank,” Hamas said in a statement on Saturday.
Mourning the Palestinian citizens who were martyred on Saturday evening in Israeli airstrikes in Qabatiya and Jenin City, Hamas stressed that “the tide of resistance in the West Bank will never stop and all the Israeli attempts to impose its annexation and displacement plans would be doomed to failure.”
“The occupation’s ongoing assassinations, raids and intensive aggression in Jenin for the 12th day will not succeed in undermining the fortitude of our heroic people, who will never back down from the option of resistance and confrontation until they achieve their aspirations for freedom and liberation from the occupation,” Hamas underlined.
Five citizens were martyred on Saturday evening in three Israeli airstrikes on Jenin City and Qabatiya town.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have been carrying out a military operation in Jenin for over 12 days, destroying public and private property on a large scale, killing and kidnaping local residents, and displacing families from their homes.
