Top Hamas official Khaled Mashaal calls for a resumption of suicide bombings in the West Bank, according to reports in Arabic media, including Sky News Arabia.

In a video address to a conference in Istanbul, Turkey, Mashaal says: “We want to return to [suicide] operations. This is a situation that can only be addressed by open conflict. They are fighting us with open conflict, and we are confronting them with open conflict.”

“I repeat my call to everyone to participate on multiple fronts in the actual resistance against the Zionist entity,” he adds.
