Hamas praises West Bank terror attack against IDF soldiers
Hamas praised the West Bank terrorists who carried out the attack.
"The operation that directly targeted a foot patrol of the Zionist occupation army with a locally made explosive device, resulting in a number of injuries, confirms that the resistance in the West Bank will not be broken or extinguished despite all the occupation’s attempts to neutralize it through repression, arrests, security measures, and the spread of checkpoints," a Hamas statement reads.
"We salute the heroes of the resistance who stand firm in the field despite all difficulties, and we affirm that the continuation of these operations is an honest expression of our people’s anger and their rejection of the occupation, its colonial practices, and its plans for annexation, displacement, and the liquidation of our cause."
This is a developing story.
