The Hamas movement praised the Fida'i operation that targeted Israelis near the settlement of "Eli" in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

In a statement, Hamas affirmed that the operation was a "natural response to the massacre in Jenin yesterday, and to the occupation's plans to divide the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and complete the stages of its Judaization."

The movement celebrated the Fida'is who took part in the operation.

26-year-old Muhannad Faleh Abdullah Shehadeh from the village of Urif, southwest of Nablus, who had also been previously liberated from the occupation's prisons, and 24-year-old, Khaled Mostafa Abel-Latif Sabah completed their mission and were martyred "after they carried out a heroic shooting operation south of Nablus."

The movement confirmed that the operation was executed by fighters of Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, in the occupied West Bank in an act of "vengeance for the blood of the martyred leaders who were targeted by" Israeli occupation forces who led a "treacherous" aggression on Gaza.

The Resistance group reaffirmed that the continuation of criminal acts by the IOF against the Palestinian people and their holy sites will lead to "a series of acts of resistance which will shake their [the occupation's] fragile state and turn" the lives "of their soldiers and settlers into nightmares."

Resistance factions in Palestine and the region issued statements and declarations praising the Fida'i operation.

Hezbollah commended the heroic operation in its statement and celebrated the "heroic resistance of the fighters of Jenin" and their fellows who dealt a huge blow to intruding Israeli occupation forces in Jenin on June 19.
