Hamas official calls on Palestinians to 'take up arms'
2015-10-04
Of course he does. It's a day of the week that ends in -day.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, official Saturday called on Paleostinians to take up arms to "defend" the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem after a rise in Jewish visitors to the flashpoint site.

"The only solution to defend the Al-Aqsa mosque and to prevent Israelis from carrying out their plans there is for West Bank and Jerusalem residents to take up arms," Mahmud Zahar said in an interview posted on the Islamist movement's website.

Tensions have been high in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem recently, with Paleostinians and Israeli police clashing at the site, which is holy to both Muslims and Jews.

Zahar's call comes after numerous attacks on Paleostinians were reported in the West Bank Friday as Israeli troops searched for the suspected Paleostinian killers of a Jewish settler couple shot in front of their young children.

"Until now weapons have only served to protect the settlers and the occupiers," added Zahar, whose movement rules the Gazoo Strip. "But we should not forget the West Bank has great human resources that can be mobilized at any moment."

"The image of Paleostinians from the West Bank and Jerusalem throwing stones and Molotov cocktails has dealt a blow to the occupier," he said.
Something like that. The Times of Israel adds:
Ma'an quoted Paleostinian security forces as saying that the IDF raided the home of a man named Noud ad-Din Abu Hashya in the Askar refugee camp in Nablus. Hashya is believed to have been involved in the attack that killed the Henkins, Paleostinian security sources told the agency.

According to the report, IDF troops gave Hashya's family a notice for a demolition order on their home, which is expected to be carried out next week.
Consequences are often no fun at all.
The detainees are all thought to be linked to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, Ma'an said. Hamas praised the attack but did not claim responsibility. A Fatah group claimed to have carried out the killing.
