Hamas: The Nablus shooting incident a “natural reaction” to the settlers’ crimes

The Hamas Movement said that the shooting of an Israeli settler’s car on Wednesday in Nablus city was a natural response to the daily violations committed by Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers against the Palestinians.

Its spokesman Hosam Badran stated in a press release on Thursday that the Palestinian people and the national factions have the right to resist the occupation and defend themselves and their land.

Badran added that Hamas salutes the Palestinian who opened fire at the settler’s car and welcomes any resistance acts against the occupation and its settlers.

The spokesman stressed that regardless of the size of damage inflicted on the occupation and its settlers, the shooting attack was successful because it took place despite the fierce suppression of the resistance in the West Bank.

Hebrew media sources had said that Palestinian resistance fighters opened fire last Wednesday night at an Israeli car boarded by settlers near Nablus city.
