Hamas Warns Israel Against Security Operations in East Jerusalem
The terrorist organization Hamas issued a warning to Israel on Tuesday regarding its security operations in the Shuafat and Anata refugee camps in East Jerusalem. The warning came after Israeli forces launched a large-scale counter-terrorism operation in these areas, aimed at thwarting attacks. Hamas threatened that if Israel does not cease its operations, the response will come from the residents of the camps, rather than directly from the organization itself.
The Hamas statement emphasized that Jerusalem, its towns, and its refugee camps will remain "entirely Palestinian." It further asserted that "occupation attempts to isolate it, Judaize it, and impose control over it will be broken by the steadfastness of its residents."
The Israeli operation, dubbed "Combined Fist," involves extensive forces from the Border Police, the IDF, and the Shin Bet. The operation is being led by Commander of the Jerusalem Envelope region, Superintendent Eran Levi, and Commander of the Binyamin Brigade, Colonel Anan Faris. The operation targets what the article refers to as "terror camps" in Anata and Shuafat, located near Jerusalem.
