Hamas says West Bank attack response to Gaza genocide
TEHRAN (Iran News) Hamas says that an attack near the West Bank settlement of Ariel was carried out in response to Israel’s ongoing war and “genocide” against people in Gaza.
In a statement reported by the Shehab news agency on Sunday, Hamas said the operation in eastern Qalqilya reflected “the determination of the Palestinian people to reject annexation and Judaization plans” and underscored that resistance would continue “as long as occupation persists.”
The group said the assault came amid daily settler attacks and Israeli military operations in the West Bank. “The crimes of the occupier and the policies of displacement and daily attacks by settlers under protection from the occupying army will inevitably fuel public anger and escalate resistance in all its forms,” the statement said.
Hamas also urged Palestinians to unite their ranks, coordinate efforts and “ignite the confrontation arena” against Israeli forces and settlers.
The statement followed an attack in which a soldier was rammed by a car near Ari’el, leaving him seriously wounded. Israeli forces opened fire on the vehicle involved, according to local reports.
