Hamas: Israel’s withholding martyrs’ bodies is crime

Hamas spokesman Husam Badran said Israel’s withholding of 31 Palestinian martyrs’ bodies is a crime that needs a strong response from resistance.

In a statement on Thursday, Badran said the anti-occupation stabbing operation carried out in Tel Aviv on Thursday proves that the Palestinian people insist on challenging Israeli measures which deprive them of their right of arranging funerals.

Badran hailed the stabbing operation and called on Palestinian youths to carry out more resistance actions, saying that such high-quality operations will force Israeli authorities to turn in martyrs’ bodies to their families and people.
