Hamas Movement has mourned the death of Palestinian ex-detainee Nihad al-Barghouthi who was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) during confrontations with Palestinian residents in Nabi Saleh village in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Tuesday.
“Al-Barghouthi’s murder after two years of detention in Israeli occupation prisons confirms that the Palestinian people are still committed to resisting and confronting the Israeli occupation and will not be deterred by arrests threats demolitions or displacement” Hamas said in a statement issued Tuesday.
Hamas also called on the Palestinian people to escalate resistance against the Israeli occupation in all forms and repel Israeli occupation crimes and colonial settler attacks against them and their property.
The Palestinian resistance movement offered its sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
Earlier Tuesday IOF soldiers fired live rounds at Palestinian demonstrators in Nabi Saleh village to the north-west of Ramallah hitting the youth Nihad al-Barghouthi in his abdomen. He was later pronounced dead in a Ramallah hospital.
