Reliable sources revealed to Al Mayadeen that Hamas met with Egyptian officials to discuss the latest Israeli attacks in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

The same sources added that Hamas has tersely underlined that forcefully displacing Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah constitutes crossing a red line, and it is well known how the resistance will respond to such violation.   

Hamas informed the Egyptians that what is taking place in Sheikh Jarrah is an escalation they cannot remain silent about, the sources stressed.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian homes and vehicles with stones and pepper-sprayed the neighborhood's residents right by the Salem home, west of the neighborhood.

Israeli settlers also attacked the neighbors within the vicinities. Fatima Salem, a resident, joined and supported other neighborhood residents who were worried that the settlers would set Salem's house on fire. 

Earlier, Hamas warned the occupation of "the dire consequences of their impingement," which the movement described as playing in minefields bound to explode in the face of occupation. 

Hamas spokesperson in Al-Quds Muhammad Hamada said that the settlers' attacks on the people in the dead of the night, which were led by Knesset member Itamar Ben-Gvir, are blatant aggression against the residents. He said that the settlers are playing with fire in al-Quds, a place where the entirety of Palestine is ignited for with everything it possesses. 

Hamada called on the Palestinian people, especially in Al-Quds, to mobilize in "support and relief our people in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood." He urged all Palestinians to turn the cities and villages of the West Bank and Al-Quds into "fields of confrontation against the brutal occupation and its cowardly settlers."

In turn, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine stressed that what the occupation and settlers "are doing against our people in al-Quds and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood is a brutal attack that cannot be tolerated." 

The movement declared that the "Israeli enemy bears full responsibility for the continued attacks on our people in Sheikh Jarrah and their property, and must bear the consequences of that."

It also urged the international community and the United Nations Security Council to take the appropriate steps to force the occupation to cease its attacks on Palestinians.
