Commenting on killing a Palestinian minor by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, Hamas states the following:

While the Palestinians were bidding farewell to Ramadan on the last Friday of the holy month, the Israeli occupation committed a new atrocious crime against the Palestinians, reflecting its criminal nature and brutality. Yesterday morning, the Israeli occupation murdered a Palestinian citizen and injured many others.

Hamas mourns the death of the Palestinian minor Lua’i Ghaith,16, who was killed by the Israeli occupation forces near Bethlehem while he was on his way to al-Aqsa Mosque.

We stress that al-Aqsa Mosque is a landmark and a red line for the Palestinian people, who are prepared to defend the mosque against the Israeli violations.  Moreover, Hamas stresses that the battle in the Muslim’s third shrine will continue until ending the Israeli occupation to the holy city.

Therefore, the Palestinian people prove again that they would uphold their rights and defy the Israeli tyranny and violations. That the Palestinian people will restore their rights one day through determination and resistance is an unarguable issue.
