Palestinian factions on Monday reacted to the stabbing operation at the central bus station in occupied Haifa, which resulted in the killing of a settler and multiple injuries.

Hamas described the attack as a natural response to Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and al-Quds, the ongoing blockade on Gaza, Israeli plans to depopulate the Jordan Valley, and continued violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The group affirmed that the "Resistance will continue until the demise of the occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital."

It called on Palestinians in the West Bank, al-Quds, and the territories occupied in 1948 to intensify confrontations with the Israeli occupation and engage in all possible forms of resistance, particularly during the month of Ramadan.

Israeli security failures

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement also emphasized that the Haifa operation was a natural response to ongoing Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and a reaffirmation of Palestinians' commitment to their land and the path of resistance.

The PIJ stated that the Palestinian people's persistence in retaliating against Israeli aggression underscores the failure of "Israel’s" security apparatus to achieve its so-called security.

It added that Israeli military operations serve no purpose other than repression, abuse, and massacres.

Calls for intensified confrontations

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Resistance Committees described the Haifa operation as a natural response from a people facing starvation and genocide at the hands of the "Zionist-American enemy," which seeks to uproot and displace them from their homeland.

The Resistance Committees called on Palestinians and Resistance fighters to remain steadfast, intensify confrontations, and step up resistance operations inside occupied territories to strip Israeli settlers of any sense of security until liberation and return are achieved.

Additionally, the al-Mujahideen Movement in Palestine stated that the latest operation dealt another security blow to the Israeli intelligence and security services, reaffirming that there is no safe place for Israelis in Palestine.

The movement saluted Palestinian Resistance fighters confronting Israeli oppression and arrogance, urging them to step up top-tier operations deep inside the occupation entity.
