A proportionate response will come in due time to the Israeli occupation forces' raid waged on the Jenin refugee camp, Palestinian resistance group Hamas said on Thursday.
"The Israeli occupation showing its teeth and escalating against the Palestinian people in Jenin is dragging into confrontation, disappointment, and defeat," Hamas said in a statement. "The occupation saw today morning a part of the strength of our unified resistance."
Hamas mourned 10 martyrs from Jenin: Nour Sami Mohammad Ghneim, 23, Mohammad Sami Mohammad Ghneim, 34, Abdullah Moussa, 18, Wasim Abu Jaes, 19, Al-Mutasim Abu Al-Hassan, 37, Saeb Azriqi, 26, Ezzeddine Yasi, 22, Mohammad Sobh, 35, Majeda Obeid, 61, and Youssef Mohaisen, 22.

PIJ calls for unity
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement called for an escalation in the face of the Israeli occupation and unification of the resistance's front against "Tel Aviv".
The PIJ stressed that the Israeli occupation's criminality would increase the Palestinian people's strength and resilience in confronting the IOF in all arenas.
The movement also underlined that the new crime, which saw the IOF murdering 10 Palestinians and injuring dozens - so far - would not go unresponded, noting that the freedom fighters would retaliate against the condemned crime. "The enemy's terrorism will cause all hell to break loose against it."
Moreover, the PIJ lauded the heroes of the Jenin Brigade and the Palestinian popular resistance, both of whom oversaw the continuation of the epic of resistance and proved that they were the first line of defense against the occupation.
Massacre not to go unanswered
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), meanwhile, mourned the martyrs of Jenin, stressing that the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces would not go unanswered.
The PFLP also stressed that the people of Palestine and the Palestinian resistance would force the enemy to pay for its crimes.
The IOF raided the Jenin camp in occupied Palestine's West Bank early on Thursday morning, leaving residents and popular resistance groups with no choice but to defend themselves and confront the occupation forces.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that there were 20 injuries as a result of live munition from the Israeli occupation forces, including three civilians in critical condition, adding that there were dozens of suffocations due to the IOF raiding the Jenin Governmental Hospital.
The IOF prevented ambulance crews from accessing the Jenin Camp, opening fire directly on the emergency vehicles, the health ministry said. Meanwhile, photos and videos taken in the camp showed the level of destruction and havoc that the IOF caused all over the refugee camp.
Ramallah revealed that taking the martyrs that rose on Thursday in Jenin into account, the camp has lost 19 people due to Israeli aggression since the start of the year.
As the confrontations were taking place, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli occupation forces, General Herzl Halevy, ordered that the state of alert be raised precautiously in light of the tensions that "Tel Aviv" sparked in the occupied West Bank by raiding the refugee camp.
