Hamas, Islamic Jihad Condemn Zionist Regime’s Killing of 3 Palestinian Youths
Hamas underlined that the policy of killing Palestinians will never lead to security for the Tel Aviv regime nor will it give the occupation any legitimacy.
It said such crimes will only strengthen the resolve of the Palestinian nation to defend their land and sanctities and take revenge for the blood of martyrs.
The Islamic Jihad movement also condemned the brutal crime and said Palestinians’ reaction to it will be proportional.
It stressed that the blood of martyrs will not be in vain and that Palestinian fighters will take revenge.
Israel’s occupation forces shot dead three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin amid the escalation of Israeli violence in the Palestinian territories.
The deaths of the three who were reportedly members of the al-Quds Brigades - the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement - came on the first day of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
The Palestinian Ma'an news agency said the incident took place at dawn on Saturday when Israeli soldiers opened fire at the trio’s car near the entrance to Arraba town, southwest of Jenin.
Citing eyewitnesses, Ma'an said the Israeli occupation forces prevented the ambulances of the Palestinian Red Crescent from reaching the place and informed them at a later time that they did not intend to hand over the bodies of the martyrs and continue to detain them.
The Israeli soldiers also confiscated the car in which the three Palestinians were traveling.
The news agency said the shooting was carried out by special forces from the Israeli police, the occupying regime’s military and Israel's spy agency the Shin Bet.
