Hamas: 2016 will be a year for rising intifada operations

The Hamas Movement has affirmed that al-Quds intifada (uprising) will continue to develop and escalate in 2016 as long as the Palestinian land is still under occupation.

Hamas spokesman Husam Badran stated on Thursday that 2016 would be seeing different forms of intifada and resistance operations against the occupation.

Badran also mourned the death of 22-year-old Hasan Bazzour, who carried out a vehicular attack at Beita junction in Nablus earlier on the same day, and described him as a “hero.”

“The heroic operation of martyr Hasan Bazzour has taken place as the Palestinian people are saying farewell to the current year and receiving a fresh one, which will be a year for anger and growing revolt in the face of the Zionist occupation,” he underscored.
