Gaza[The Palestinian Information Center] A spokesman for the Hamas Movement, Hazem Qassem, said in a press statement issued on Monday that the Israeli aggression on Jenin will not achieve its goals, holding “the Israeli fascist extremist government responsible for the attack.”

For his part, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, Ismail Haneyya, said that the outcome of the Israeli offensive against Jenin will shape the forthcoming phase.
“Our people, along with the resistance fighters, possess the ability to confront this barbaric aggression,” he emphasized.
Haneyya further called on the Palestinian people in the West Bank to support Jenin and safeguard its citizens to foil the Israeli occupation government’s schemes.
