Press Statement 

Commenting on the occupation's crime of killing Palestinian man Raed Yousef Rashid,                                    Hamas leader Dr. Ismail Radwan stated the following:

We mourn the martyr of Bet Awar al-Tahta from Ramallah, Palestine, Raed Youssef Rashid (39 years old), who was targeted by the occupation at dawn today in a heinous crime to be added to the occupation's record of crimes against our Palestinian people.

We affirm that this crime will not stop the struggle of our Palestinian people, nor their clinging to their rights.

The resistance and confrontation against the occupation will continue in Bet Awar al-Tahta, Ramallah, Jenin, Beita, Jabal Isbeih, Silwan, and Gaza until the occupation is defeated and ejected from our Jerusalem and our land.

We call for confrontation with the occupation at friction points and colonial settlements in response to this heinous crime.

Greetings to the rebellious youth in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza, and to our people in all places of struggle and steadfastness.

Dr. Ismail Radwan
A leader of Hamas Movement
