The deputy head of the Hamas movement in the West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, confirmed Saturday that the West Bank constitutes a strategic reservoir of resistance, and there is an increase in the pace of resistance.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Jabarin considered that Palestinians have the right to resist the occupier wherever it is found, adding that the violations of the Israeli occupation are increasing, including demolishing homes, launching arrests, and desecrating the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Resistance has the strength to defeat "Israel"

Jabarin underscored that the Resistance movements have the strength and the will to continue the struggle and defeat the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

He also revealed that the resistance factions' joint operations room in Gaza began to shift to the West Bank.

Jabarin: Next battle will not only be on Gaza & West Bank fronts

The Hamas official affirmed that there are a number of means of resisting the Israeli occupation, pointing out that the era of the occupation's aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, and Al-Aqsa has come to an end.

Jabarin threatened that if the occupation crosses the red lines, the axis of resistance will avenge Al-Aqsa, underlining that the next battle will not only be on the fronts of Gaza and the West Bank.

Jabareen saw that many members of the Fatah movement declared their rejection of security coordination and considered it treason that "it had nothing to do with the legacy of Fatah."

Jabarin emphasized the possession of what he called a "strategic weapon represented by unity among the resistance factions, as the Gaza model," stressing that the [Israeli] enemy is working to divide these factions.

Some Arab regimes have abandoned Palestine

In turn, a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, Muhammad al-Hindi, described the events to Al Mayadeen as "an open battle," stressing that the Palestinian people will make "every sacrifice", in order to protect Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa mosque.

Al-Hindi pointed out that the occupation force, which stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque, has become "the object of ridicule for the Palestinian people," stressing that "some Arab regimes have abandoned Palestine, while others act as mediators," revealing that "there is a third party that has become an enemy of the cause."

"Tel Aviv" is a monster of dust

Al-Hindi explained that Gaza is a base for the Palestinian resistance, and "Tel Aviv" is responsible for all crimes, adding that "the battle with the enemy is open and extended, and the hope of the Palestinian people grows with the capabilities of the resistance."

Al-Hindi indicated that "Tel Aviv" terrifies Arab regimes, but for the "Palestinian martyrs, it is a monster of dust." He revealed the existence of continuous meetings between the parties to the resistance axis in order to "provide support to the Palestinian people in this open battle," considering that "anyone who stands with Al-Quds axis will win, and whoever fails to follow it will be defeated."

Al-Hindi confirmed that the occupation has lost the ability "to deter and control" the awareness of his opponents.

Last week, the Israeli occupation forces raided Al-Aqsa Mosque and tried to completely evacuate it, which led to confrontations with the Palestinians stationed in it, injuring more than 150. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent had earlier reported that around 50,000 Palestinians attended the Friday prayers in Al-Aqsa despite the Israeli assaults and mass arrest campaigns.
