The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has condemned the crime of exhuming a Palestinian grave in the village of al-Asasa, south of Jenin, after settlers, supported by the Israeli occupation army, forced a Palestinian family to extract the body of one of its members from his grave under the pretext of the cemetery’s proximity to a settlement recently reopened by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Movement said in a press release on Sunday that the incident represents a new crime committed by herds of settlers with the support of the terrorist occupation army, noting that it reflects the reality of the terrorist occupation and its complete separation from human values and norms.
Hamas stressed that the crime calls for serious international steps to end the occupation and hold its leaders accountable, demanding that the international community put an end to what it described as terrorist crimes and practices targeting Palestinians, both living and dead.
