Hamas Warns Israel against Crossing Red Lines in Al-Quds
Basem Naim, the head of Hamas’ political bureau in the Gaza Strip, said any move by the Israeli regime to cross the red lines at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood or elsewhere in al-Quds would have dangerous repercussions.
He said what happens in the holy city is the concern of not only Palestinians but also the Muslim and Arab world.
The Palestinian nation and resistance will not remain silent on violation of sanctities in al-Quds, he stressed.
On Thursday, the Zionist regime’s forces placed the flashpoint neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the occupied East al-Quds under a near-complete lockdown.
The forces took the measure shortly after they fiercely attacked dozens of Palestinians and activists there, the official Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.
According to Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen news network, the Israeli forces assaulted a sit-in that was being held by Palestinians there in protest against the regime’s plans to expel 13 Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah.
The forces have threatened the protesters with “severe treatment” in order to break up the sit-in, and have also been preventing medics from entering the neighborhood in order to treat injured Palestinians.
Tensions have flared across the Palestinian territories since Sunday, when Israeli forces and illegal settlers renewed their attacks against Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah.
