In a statement on Saturday, Hamas mourned martyr Qais Shejaiya, a 23-year-old al-Qassam Brigades fighter from Deir Jarir village in Ramallah, who was shot dead last night after he carried out a shooting operation near the illegal settlement of Beit El.

“We assure israel that the heroes of al-Qassam Brigades and the resistance will hunt its army and settlers over mountains, in valleys and throughout occupied Palestine, and that its desecration of the Aqsa Mosque will not go unpunished,” Hamas said.

It urged every Palestinian who has a weapon to point it at the zionist occupation forces (ZOF).

On Friday night, the ZOF killed a Palestinian after he carried out a shooting operation near Beit El settlement and wounded a Jewish settler. (ILKHA)
