Hamas says three fighters killed in West Bank by Israel, denounces PA crackdown on resistance

Hamas says three Palestinians were killed in Tubas after they refused to surrender to Israeli forces, who besieged a house in the Far’a refugee camp in the occupied northwestern West Bank.

The movement said the "assassinations" would only strengthen the Palestinian people's commitment to armed resistance in the West Bank, vowing to continue the struggle "until liberation".

Hamas also condemned the Palestinian Authority for arresting resistance fighters, accusing it of collaborating with Israel in targeting Palestinian fighters.

"The assassination in Al-Far’a camp coincided with a campaign of arrests carried out by the PA security forces against resistance fighters, confirming the seriousness of the crime of security cooperation between the occupation and the PA, which dared to shed Palestinian blood," the group said.

It called on West Bank Palestinians to stand united against efforts to undermine their cause and to protect those resisting Israeli occupation.
