Hamas: Attacking Yunus neighborhood Zionist crime

Hamas described as a “crime” the Israeli assault on “Yunus Grandchildren” neighborhood in Alezariya in occupied Jerusalem at dawn Sunday.

The movement was commenting in a statement on the Israeli military attack on the neighborhood set up by Palestinian activists and bulldozing it.

Hamas strongly condemned the act and the assault on activists who were defending their land that is threatened with confiscation and usurpation.

It said that such “desperate attempts” would not deter the Palestinian people from demanding their rights and challenging settlement plans.

Hamas charged the world community with collusion for its silence vis-à-vis the Israeli blatant robbery of occupied Palestinian land and Judaization attempts.

The movement warned of serious consequences of such “Zionist crimes”, and called on the Palestinian people to remain steadfast and to defend their land and holy shrines.
