Israel's carnage in West Bank’s Jenin camp will not break resistance, says Hamas

The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement has condemned a deadly Israeli airstrike targeting the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, emphasizing that such massacres will fail to undermine the determination and willpower of the resistance front there.

“We offer our condolences for the martyrdom of the heroes of Jenin in the West Bank, who lost their lives in this new brutal and heinous massacre. We emphasize that their pure blood will neither be wasted away nor trampled upon,” the Gaza-based group said in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement added that the new crime by the occupiers will inflame a fire that will burn them out, and shatter delusions about their security apparatus.

Hamas said that the criminal act took place hours after the launch of an initiative to stop the attacks by the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) security forces on the Jenin camp and its resistance front.

The statement held the Ramallah-based PA complicit in the Zionist enemy’s crime, denouncing its rejection of national calls to stop the violations against the camp.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said an Israeli drone fired three missiles at a group of people near a traffic roundabout in the Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday evening, killing six people, including a 15-year-old boy, and injuring several others.

Five other victims of the attack were aged between 23 and 34, and included three brothers.

The deadly drone attack also comes amid a military offensive launched in the Jenin camp by PA security forces over the last several weeks, targeting Palestinian resistance fighters, which has resulted in the killing of more than a dozen people.

Extremist minister says seeking to settle one million Israelis in West Bank

The Israeli regime’s housing minister calls for the illegal settling of one million Israelis in the occupied West Bank.

Hassan Khraisheh, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said the drone attack proved Israel’s willingness to kill Palestinians indiscriminately.

“This is a clear message from the Israeli occupation that every Palestinian is a target,” Khraisheh said.

Three Israeli troopers wounded by roadside bomb near Jenin

In a separate development, three Israeli soldiers were wounded, two of them seriously, during an incursion into Qabatiya city, south of Jenin.

 According to the Israeli military, their vehicle was hit by a roadside explosive device planted by Palestinian fighters.

All the three soldiers were transferred to hospital for treatment.

Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted numerous raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the onset of the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.

At least 848 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,700 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.
