Hamas, Islamic Jihad Call for Palestinians to Step Up "Resistance" Against Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Thursday called on Palestinians to step up their "resistance" against Israel following the assassination attempt on Yehuda Glick and the temporary closure of the Temple Mount. Islamic Jihad praised the assailant, one of its members, Mu'taz Hijazi, for carrying out his "sacred duty to defend the Aqsa Mosque." Hamas, for its part, called on Palestinians to avenge the killing of Hijazi by the IDF. Abu Obaida, spokesman for Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades, said: "We salute the sacred hands that pulled the trigger of dignity and fired the bullets of revenge toward the Zionist criminal who desecrated the blessed Aqsa Mosque."
