Hamas issues statement on recent attack near Hadera

Hamas has confirmed responsibility for a running-over and stabbing attack that took place earlier today in the Karkur area near Hadera, calling it a "natural and heroic response to Israel's ongoing aggression" in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the northern governorates.

The group emphasized that the attack was in retaliation for Israeli Occupation’s "brutal crimes," including continued attempts to Judaize Islamic holy sites such as Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque. Hamas further stated that this attack serves as a message to "Israel’s" extremist government and its ministers, asserting that the resistance in Palestine will not cease until the occupation is removed from the land.

Hamas called on the Palestinian people to maintain their steadfastness, escalate resistance efforts, and continue to target "Israeli" forces and settlers until full liberation is achieved. The group stressed that such operations would continue, aimed at disrupting the peace and security of the occupation.

The incident took place amid ongoing tensions in the region, and Hamas reiterated its commitment to resisting the "Israeli" occupation through both armed struggle and mobilizing popular support.

The attack follows a series of heightened "Israeli" military operations and Palestinian resistance actions, signaling a continued cycle of violence and resistance in the region.
