The Islamist organization Hamas has issued a call for intensified resistance from Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This plea is a direct response to a recent Israeli military offensive conducted in the city of Jenin, known for its frequent clashes.

Hamas, a prominent Palestinian militant faction, made the announcement via a public statement, emphasizing the need for increased confrontation with Israeli forces. The exhortation highlights the persistent tension and unrest characterizing the West Bank corridor.

The situation remains on edge as both Israeli and Palestinian forces seek to assert control, with Hamas's latest statements likely to further inflame an already volatile environment.
