On Sunday, Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hammad called on Palestinians in the West Bank to attack Israeli targets to show support for the “resistance” in Gaza.
Israel is in the midst of a military campaign aimed at destroying Hamas’s tunnel infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave and ending rocket fire on Israeli cities.
Operation Protective Edge, which began on July 8, has claimed the lives of 25 IDF soldiers and two Israeli civilians, and some 500 Palestinians, according to Gazan medical sources.
