Doha – Saba:
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) called on Wednesday for a firm stance by the Palestinian people and all official and popular institutions to confront the crimes of the Israeli enemy and its Zionist settlers in the occupied West Bank.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas said: "The crimes of the Israeli enemy and its settlers, including their aggression against the town of Kafr Malik east of Ramallah and across the West Bank, demand a serious stance from our people and all official and popular institutions to confront these crimes."
The movement mourned the three martyrs who were killed in Kafr Malik village northeast of Ramallah due to attacks by Zionist settlers, praising the villagers' resistance against the assault by settler mobs and Israeli occupation forces.
Hamas emphasized the necessity of forming protection committees for Palestinian towns and villages, stressing that the enemy’s crime in Kafr Malik—which led to the martyrdom of three young men and injuries to others—along with previous settler attacks, including the burning of houses and vehicles, reflects the Zionist enemy’s entrenched policy of targeting everything Palestinian.
"This crime must not go unanswered," Hamas added, "and our people must confront the enemy and its settler gangs with all possible strength, striking them at all points of confrontation in the occupied West Bank."
The movement urged the Palestinian Authority and its security forces to fulfill their natural role in protecting the Palestinian people, ensuring their security, and immediately releasing all resistance fighters and political detainees.
Hamas affirmed that the Palestinian people will not remain idle in the face of ongoing killings and displacement, stressing that resistance in all its forms is the legitimate and natural response to escalating Israeli terrorism.
It further stated that the blood of the martyrs in Kafr Malik, like all Palestinian martyrs, will not be in vain and will remain fuel for the path of liberation and resistance until the defeat of the Israeli enemy, the attainment of freedom, and the establishment of a Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
