The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourns Palestinian freedom fighters Khaled Al-Dabbas and Basil Basbous who were assassinated by the Israeli occupation forces after opening fire at their car in the Al-Jalazun refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.

Such a crime reflects the Israeli occupation’s confusion over its security system’s failure to stop the Palestinians’ resistance against the occupation.

This Zionist crime, which is a continuation of the Israeli occupation’s daily detention raids against Palestinians, expansion of colonial settlements, and the Judaization schemes against occupied Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, require a unified, comprehensive Palestinian resistance.

Hamas salutes the Palestinian freedom fighters who courageously stand against the Israeli occupation forces and settlers’ attacks and defend their land, people, and sanctities.
