On Sunday gunfire targeting a bus carrying settlers in the “Ma’ale Shomron” settlement east of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank. At least two settlers were confirmed to be injured with one injury classified as critical.
The Palestinian who conducted this operation had reportedly withdrawn from the scene of the operation.
It is important to note that the operation was conducted against settlers who had built their settlement over the rubble of Palestinian villages that had been completely wiped out, with their residents either massacred or exiled.
Occupation forces shut down the area surrounding the scene of the operation. The bus, apparently, was unarmored and the bullets adequately pierced through the walls and windows.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praised the operation.
The Popular Front praises the heroic operation in Qalqilya and confirms that operations in the West Bank will escalate and evolve.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praised the heroic shooting operation on a bus of settlers near the town of Azzun in the occupied city of Qalqilya, confirming that it is a natural response to the escalating crimes of the occupation against the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip.
The Front added that this new qualitative operation sends a strong message to the enemy entity and its cowardly leaders that their war of extermination and crimes against our Palestinian people will not go unanswered. Moreover, this operation demonstrates that the occupation is beginning to sink in the quagmire of the West Bank, just as it is sinking today in Gaza. The qualitative operations targeting the occupation soldiers and settlers in the West Bank have begun to escalate, evolve, diversify, and take new, surprising tactics to the enemy.
The Front concluded its statement, affirming its confidence that the resistance in the West Bank will continue targeting the zionist soldiers and hordes of settlers and that its operations will escalate further in the coming days. There is no choice for our people but to continue this path until the occupation is defeated and Palestine is liberated from its river to its sea.
