The Hamas Movement has warned the Israeli occupation government of allowing its Jewish settlers to persist in their crimes and terrorism in the West Bank.
“The occupation leaders and their settlers would pay dearly for persisting in this brutal aggression and our heroic people are able to defend themselves and retaliate,” Hamas said in a press release on Friday.
The Movement called for escalating all forms of resistance to confront the settler rampage through the West Bank, stressing that the settlers would not rest on the Palestinian land.
“The courageous Nablus operation that killed one of the so-called hilltop youths is a clear message that our people will not hesitate to defend themselves and their land,” Hamas said.
