Hamas calls for ‘escalation of resistance’ to West Bank settler violence

Hamas has condemned the latest Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank towns of Jinsafut and Funduq in a statement and called for an 'escalation of resistance in all its forms' to combat the violence, Al Jazeera reported.

“The escalation of settler terrorism underscores the urgent need for our heroic people across all governorates of the West Bank to rise in a sweeping wave of anger to deter the settlers and repel their terrorist attacks,” said the group.

The settler attacks and Israeli military campaigns will not “succeed in pushing our people to give up their land and rights,” Hamas said.

It will lead to “further steadfastness and defiance”.
