Hamas holds the Authority responsible for the killing of two children and the injury of their wanted father in Tubas

The town of Tammun in the Tubas governorate, northeast of the occupied West Bank, witnessed a tragic incident, where the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) accused the Palestinian Authority's security services of killing two children from the Samara family. This came after a direct targeting of a vehicle carrying Samer Samara, who is wanted by the occupation, accompanied by his children, leading to a tragedy that shook the region and sparked angry reactions.

Local sources reported that a joint force from the Preventive Security apparatus and the 'Sahm' unit set up a tight ambush for Samara's car, where they fired a heavy barrage of bullets at it. This attack immediately resulted in the martyrdom of 16-year-old Ali Samara, and the injury of his siblings with varying degrees of wounds, while their father sustained a direct injury before being arrested by the security force in a difficult health condition.

In an official statement issued on Sunday evening, Hamas described what happened as a 'serious crime' and a transgression of all red lines, considering it a new black mark in the record of the security services. The movement held the Authority's leadership fully responsible for the repercussions of this incident, warning that the continuation of this approach threatens to tear apart the Palestinian national fabric and serves the occupation's agendas in pursuing resistance fighters.

For its part, medical reports indicated that the injured children were transferred to hospitals in Tubas and Nablus to receive emergency treatment, but the child Samara passed away due to a severe head injury. Dozens of citizens gathered in front of the hospitals in a state of shock and anger, demanding an end to security coordination and the protection of Palestinian families from the aggression of the security services.

In turn, the Committee of Families of Political Prisoners condemned this incident, noting that it comes within a 'systematic policy' aimed at pursuing wanted individuals and resistance fighters without regard for the sanctity of Palestinian blood. The committee affirmed that what happened in Tammun represents a dangerous deviation in the role of the agencies that are supposed to protect citizens, calling for accountability for those involved in the shooting and the immediate release of all political prisoners.

What happened is a serious crime that represents a black mark in the record of the security services, which continue to oppress the people instead of protecting them.
