Sadness, anger in Palestine: Thousands mourn martyrs of Israeli raid on Jenin

Thousands of people have turned out for the funeral procession of a dozen Palestinians, among them four minors, killed by Israeli military forces during a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

On Wednesday, the mourners converged outside Jenin’s governmental hospital as they grieved for the victims of the latest Israeli onslaught.

They shouted slogans in commemoration of the fallen Palestinians and in support of the resistance fighters, who courageously withstood the Israeli violence and forced the regime’s troops to withdraw.

The participants also strongly denounced the security cooperation between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel, and vowed to continue the struggle against the occupying Tel Aviv regime until the final victory over it.

Hamas chief: Resistance fighters gave Israel ‘bitter lesson’

Meanwhile, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement, said Palestinian resistance fighters based in Jenin gave the Israeli military a “bitter and unforgettable” lesson, and inflicted heavy losses on its troops.

He reiterated that all options are on the table in support of the residents of the northern West Bank city as well as its valiant resistance fighters.

“The coming days will reveal the magnitude of the resistance front’s strong strikes against the enemy. It will be forced to reconsider its calculations over and over again, when thinking about launching another assault on our people,” Haniyeh said in a statement on Wednesday.
