Hamas threatens ‘severe’ response to Jerusalem unrest
Hamas warns of a “severe” response should Israel continue its “assaults” in East Jerusalem, according to a spokesperson for the terror group.
“If the occupation continues its assaults against our compatriots in Jerusalem, the resistance’s response will be severe,” Mohammad Hamadeh tells official Hamas television.
“We call on our people to support the people of Jerusalem by clashing with the occupation at friction points,” Hamadeh says, possibly referring to West Bank locations where Palestinians frequently face off with Israeli troops.
