Hamas movement mourns the killing of the Palestinian minor, Waseem Naser Khaleefa, 18, from Balata refugee camp by Israeli occupation forces. He was shot dead while dozens of Israeli settlers escorted by Israeli occupation forces broke at dawn into the Joseph's Tomb, a funerary monument located in Balata village. 

We hail the Palestinian people at Balata village who are determined to continue resisting the Israeli occupation until liberation and return. 

Mourning the killing of Khaleefa and wishing the wounded a speedy recovery, we reiterate the necessity to continue the resistance action against the Israeli occupation across Palestine.
