The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) had on Thursday launched an arrest campaign targeting dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank.

Hamas on Friday condemned the Israeli campaign and confirmed that it will not fulfill its goals.

“Those arrests will only strengthen our peoples’ determination to resist Israeli crimes.” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a press release.

Abu Zuhri slammed negative comments made by Palestinian Authority (PA) officials following the resistance operation in Tel Aviv, adding that security collaboration between the PA and occupation forces will not deter Palestinians from confronting the Israeli occupation and its settlers.
