The Hamas terror group threatens to meet “escalation with escalation” after Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in a firefight in Jenin.

“The continuous crimes of the occupation portend a total explosion, which will be still more powerful and more painful and miserable [than those that preceded] and which our people will join in every part of our occupied land,” the terror group says in a statement.

Hamas says it welcomes “the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of struggle and martyrdom and victories” by “embracing the hands of our revolutionary heroes.”
