Hamas said, “The occupation’s brutal bombing by aircraft this evening, Thursday, of a café in Tulkarm camp, which left dozens of martyrs and wounded women and children, is a dangerous escalation in its ongoing aggression against the West Bank, and evidence of its brutality and bankruptcy, in light of its failure on the ground to undermine the determination of our people and their escalating resistance.”
Hamas added in a statement, “As we mourn the martyrs of the Tulkarm massacre who were killed by the treacherous occupation bombing, we confirm that the resistance in Tulkarm and all the governorates of the West Bank will remain unbreakable despite the brutality of the occupation, and that the policy of assassinations will not succeed in dissuading our people from the option of confrontation and standing up to the occupation.”
