Concurrently, senior Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shadid expressed during a televised conference that Israel persists in its criminal actions against Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza.
He charged Israel with committing killings, displacements, mass arrests, obstructing food and medical supplies, and closing border crossings, thereby exacerbating the humanitarian plight in the Strip.
Shadid pointed out that Israel's military operation in Jenin and its refugee camp has reached its 51st day, while similar operations in Tulkarm and its camps, Nour Shams and Tulkarm, have continued for 43 days.
He characterized these operations as part of Israel's broader agenda to expand settlements and establish a new reality in the Palestinian territories.
