Hamas decries terrorists’ home demolitions, promises attacks
Hamas calls for collective effort by Palestinians to prevent the demolition of Palestinian terrorists’ homes in Qalandiya and Yatta in the West Bank in the coming days.
In a statement published on the terror group’s website, Hamas calls for the residents of the Qalandiya refugee camp and the town of Yatta, near Hebron, “to stand together” and not allow Israel to demolish the homes.
The group warns Israel won’t “enjoy security through the decision to destroy homes of resistance fighters” and promises there will be a “powerful response,” including “high-quality operations that will surprise.”
