Hamas official Abdel Rahman Shaded called Saturday for widespread mobilization across West Bank towns, villages, cities and refugee camps to confront what he described as a "frenzied campaign" by settlers against Palestinians, Shehab Wire reported. The Hamas leader's statement comes amid escalating settler attacks in the occupied territory.
Shaded urged Palestinians to mount a coordinated response to the settler violence, framing the action as necessary self-defense against the attacks on Palestinian communities.
