HAMAS’ REPORTS

Hamas leader Abdel Hakim Hanini

The ramming operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem this morning is a new confirmation of the resistance’s resolve and its commitment to its commitment.

The timing and location of the operation have their own connotations, coinciding with the violations and settlement plans that the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is being subjected to.

The recent developments in the West Bank and Jerusalem and the specific operations that took place are an indication of the extent of the anger and latent revolution among our people.

We call on the masses of the West Bank and Jerusalem to show greater solidarity and rise up against the occupation.
