The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas stressed Monday that the Israeli occupation's threats to besiege the occupied West Bank city of Jenin would not discourage the Palestinian people from resisting the occupation. 

In a statement, Hamas spokesperson in Jerusalem Mohammed Hamada explained that such threats are evidence that "all attempts by the Israeli occupation to break the Palestinian people's will have failed."

The Palestinian people, who have endured all sorts of suffering, including starvation and siege, will not give in this time and are more determined to confront the Israeli occupation, Hamada pointed out.
