Mahmoud Mardawi, a senior Hamas leader, said that killings carried out by settlers and Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank constitute an extension of the genocide committed by Benjamin Netanyahu's government in Gaza, according to Shehab Wire. Mardawi asserted that settler attacks and occupation military operations represent a continuous campaign of terror against Palestinians in the occupied territory.
The statement reflects Hamas's characterization of violence across multiple Palestinian regions as part of a coordinated Israeli strategy. Mardawi insisted that such attacks would not weaken Palestinian resolve or undermine the resistance movement in the West Bank, positioning the violence as one front in a broader conflict spanning Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.
