It has been 29 years since the terrorist Israeli colonial settler Baruch Goldstein, under the protection of the Israeli occupation army, committed a grotesque massacre against Palestinian worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, killing 29 of them and injuring 15 more. 

The heinous crime bears witness to the atrocious, sadistic, and terrorist nature of the Israeli occupation and Israeli colonial settlers. 

The anniversary of such an appalling massacre comes following a new atrocity committed by the Israeli occupation army in Nablus, killing 11 Palestinians and injuring more than 100 more. 

Such crimes and massacres will not deter the Palestinian people from continuing to resist the occupation and defend their national rights and holy sites, foremost among them is Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

On the 29th anniversary of such massacre, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas states the following: 

Second: The long-running Israeli crimes and massacres against the Palestinian people will not break their will and will not go unanswered. 

Third: We call on the Palestinian people at home and abroad to embrace national unity and renew their commitment to defend their rights, constants, homeland, and holy sites. 

Fourth: We call on the Arab and Muslim world to mobilise all efforts at all levels to support the Palestinian people and endorse their legitimate struggle to protect their historical homeland, their constants, and their Muslim and Christian holy sites. 

Fifth: We renew our call for the United Nations and all human rights groups and international humanitarian organisations to take serious and effective action to criminalise the Israeli occupation and its violations against the Ibrahimi Mosque and all Muslim and Christian holy sites and hold its leader accountable at international courts.
