Hamas said, on Sunday, that the resistance in the West Bank is escalating and expanding, in response to the continued occupation crimes against the Palestinian people and their sanctities.

In a press statement, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem referred to the Tuqu' operation that took place in Bethlehem in the southern West Bank this time, he said.

He added: The resistance can surprise the occupation every time in the place and method of implementation.

And he continued: This resistance is continuous and continuous until achieving the goals of our people with freedom and independence.
