Hamas to Al Mayadeen: Self-defense is a right guaranteed by all international laws
Hamas Spokesperson Hazem Qassem expressed the movement's rejection of statements made by the Turkish Embassy in "Israel" and the Bahraini Foreign Ministry, who condemned the "Tel Aviv" operation.
Qassem told Al Mayadeen that the resistance of the Palestinian people is an act of self-defense and a defense of their sanctities - a right guaranteed by international laws.
He also stressed that the Israeli occupation's aggressive policy against the Palestinian people is a form of terrorism and racism.
Turkey's Embassy in "Tel Aviv" had condemned the operation on Twitter, expressing its "concern" about the increase in the number of operations.
2/2: We convey our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the said attack, as well as the Government and the people of Israel. We also wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

Sixteen settlers were injured in "Tel Aviv", occupied Palestine, following an operation that took place late Thursday. Three settlers out of the 16 injured have died so far, and the remaining are in critical condition and undergoing surgery.
National and Islamic forces in Jenin mourned the young martyr Raad Fathi Zaidan Khazem, 29 years old, from Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Raad Khazem was waiting for Israeli intelligence agents near the Yafa Mosque, and he confronted them before he was martyred.
