GAZA (PIC)– Hamas Movement has called on its armed wing the Qassam Brigades and the armed wings of the Palestinian resistance factions to gear up to retaliate to the ongoing IOF troops’ massacres in Nablus and Jenin cities in the West Bank.
“The Israeli enemy understands no language but the language of force” Hamas said in a statement it issued Wednesday and a copy of which was obtained by the PIC.
It also invited the entire Palestinian resistance factions to consolidate their ranks and to form joint military operation that would be capable of planning and steering the battle against the Israeli occupation government charging “The Israeli occupation government military escalation in the West Bank aims to break the Palestinian people’s resistance and push it to surrender”.
“The right of all peoples under occupation to resist the occupation is sanctioned by all international laws and conventions and therefore the Palestinian people have the right to resist the Israeli occupation and to retrieve their usurped legal rights” the statement asserted.
Hamas moreover urged the international community to protect the unarmed Palestinian people and to pressure the Israeli occupation government into halting their atrocities against them.
