AhlulBayt News Agency - Hamas on Wednesday slammed the world’s silence over Israel’s cold-blooded execution of a Palestinian girl and her brother at the Qalandiya checkpoint earlier in the day.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a press statement: “The silence maintained by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its president Mahmoud Abbas, along with the PA-Israel security coordination, gave the Israeli occupation a push to shed more Palestinian blood.”
“Such a crime shall not go without punishment,” said Barhoum. “It has to usher in a new phase in armed resistance across the occupied West Bank so as to defend Palestinian children, lands, and holy sites against the crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation and its settler gangs.”
23-year-old Maram Salah Abu Ismail, a mother of two kids, and her 16-year-old brother Ibrahim Saleh Taha were shot dead by the Israeli occupation soldiers near the Qalandiya checkpoint, in northern Occupied Jerusalem, on Wednesday morning.
