“We salute the martyr’s family and residents of Qabatiya for embracing resistance against the israeli occupation,” HAMAS said.

Stressing that the resistance option is capable of deterring the zionist occupation forces and putting an end to their assaults against Palestinian lands and holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, foremost among them Al-Aqsa Mosque, HAMAS went on to say: “Provocative acts by israeli settlers and their raids into Al-Aqsa Mosque and attempts to impose a new fait accompli in the Muslim sacred compound should be met with a resistant action by the Palestinian people.”

“Kmail’s blood, which was spelled at a gate of the al-Aqsa Mosque, conveys a message to all normalizers that our Palestinian people will remain committed to defending the Muslim holy complex and that normalization of ties with the Israeli occupation will not undermine the Palestinians’ determination to defend their rights and holy sites,” HAMAS concluded.
