In a press release, the Hamas movement announced that "the heroic dual operation that took place tonight near Gush Etzion and Karmei Tzur settlement, north of al-Khalil, is a clear message that the Resistance will continue to be strong, far-reaching and persistent as long as the brutal aggression of the [Israeli] occupation and its targeting of our people and our land continues."

Hamas stressed that the qualitative operation has significance both in terms of location and timing emphasizing that such operations were conducted amid heightened readiness of the Israeli occupation forces and came in response to the wide-reaching Israeli aggression in the West Bank and the massacres in the Gaza Strip.
