Hamas Call to Escalate Resistance in All Forms
Following the martyrdom of Yousef Waleed Sheikh Ibrahim, Hamas reaffirms its commitment to resistance and urges escalation against Israeli crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.
Palestine, PUREWILAYAH.COM - The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirmed that resistance in the West Bank remains active and escalating despite the complex security environment and the dual persecution faced by the resistance fighters.
In a statement, Hamas mourned the martyr Yousef Waleed Sheikh Ibrahim, who was martyred on Monday evening after carrying out a shooting operation near the Mevo Dotan settlement, southwest of Jenin.
The movement stated that the operation is proof that the escalating crimes of the occupation, particularly in Jenin and Tulkarm, “will not break the will of our people, nor extinguish the flame of resistance in the West Bank.”
A Legitimate Response to Ongoing Crimes and Occupation Schemes
Hamas praised the bravery of the resistance fighters who continue to confront the terrorism of the occupation and its settlers, despite the harsh conditions and continuous persecution.
The movement stressed that: "This heroic operation is a legitimate response to the ongoing massacres against our people in Gaza and the West Bank, and to the fascist plans of the occupation government led by Smotrich to seize land and expand settlements."
A Call to Escalate Resistance in All Forms
Hamas reaffirmed that “resistance in the West Bank will remain present and growing, and it will not retreat in the face of aggression. Instead, it will continue to target occupation forces and settlers and confront the genocide being committed against our people, especially in steadfast Gaza.”
The movement called upon the masses in the West Bank and Jerusalem to escalate the resistance in all its forms and to respond to the occupation’s crimes “with qualitative operations that disrupt its calculations and thwart its colonial projects.”
