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.

In their statement, the movement stressed that the operation further sought to "reaffirm to the occupation that it cannot isolate any part of the homeland and that the heroic reservoir of our people and resistance in the West Bank will surprise the occupation at every time and place."

This brave operation, Hamas said in its press release, dealt the occupation’s security apparatus a significant blow, particularly given the current high state of readiness.

Moreover, it underscored that "the [Israeli] entity, which will not enjoy security on our land and will receive more painful blows from our heroic Resistance."
