Statement following a December 16 shooting attack in the West Bank that killed one and wounded two:

“We congratulate the heroic operation in Nablus against the occupation forces and the murderous settlers, as it is in line with the Palestinian nation’s all-out struggle. The operation proves yet again that our heroic people in the West Bank will continue their legitimate struggle until they expel the occupying regime from the entire Palestinian territories and wipe out settlers. The spirit of resistance and sacrifice, which prevails across West Bank cities, is the main guarantor of our people’s victory. It will help them arrive at their goals of liberating the homeland and repatriating the displaced.”Judah Ari Gross and Aaron Boxerman, “Israeli man killed, two injured in northern West Bank terror shooting,” Times of Israel, December 16, 2021, https://www.timesofisrael.com/one-killed-two-injured-in-northern-west-bank-shooting/; “Palestinian resistance groups praise West Bank retaliatory shooting attack as natural response to Israel’s crimes,” ParsToday, December 17, 2021, https://parstoday.com/en/news/west_asia-i160860-palestinian_resistance_groups_praise_west_bank_retaliatory_shooting_attack_as_natural_response_to_israel%E2%80%99s_crimes.
