The spokesman for the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, Hazem Qassem, said that the brutal attack carried out by the Israeli occupation against the people of Khan al-Ahmar east of occupied Jerusalem is an extension to Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing, which has been practiced since the establishment of the entity.

Qassem said in a press statement that this ongoing policy reveals the racism of the Israeli Occupation and its terror acts against Palestinians with the support of the US administration. 

He called for intensifying the national effort to confront this policy and prevent it from achieving its goals by expelling the Palestinians from their land.

Qassem stressed that the policy of ethnic cleansing by the Israeli Occupation will be halted by the resistance and determination of the Palestinian people.
