Alwaght-After the suspicious abduction and murder of three Zionists in the occupied West Bank, Netanyahu blamed Hamas without any evidence. Being angry with Fatah's agreement with the Hamas, Israeli prime minister said "Those who perpetrated the abduction of our youths were members of Hamas -- the same Hamas that Abu Mazen made a unity government with. This has severe repercussions".
Under the pretext of searching for kidnapped Zionists and with Netanyahu's ok to security forces to use all measures Israeli soldiers detained many Palestinians. The Palestinian Ministry of Information said in a written statement that the arrests come under "flimsy pretexts" as a "continuation of the aggression" on Palestinians. "The ministry also asserts that the Israeli military campaign has been ongoing for decades, during which (Israel) kidnapped the entire Palestinian people," it said.
Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said that Netanyahu's comments attributing blame were "stupid and baseless". Abu Zuhri added "The arrest campaign made by the Israeli occupation in the West Bank is targeted to break the backbone of Hamas and bring it down, but the Israelis will not succeed in achieving their goal".
Israeli settlers kidnapped and murdered Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16 year old Palestinian teenager, as an act of revenge. The Palestinian Authority’s attorney general said post-mortem examination findings showed that murdered teenager Muhammad Abu Khdeir was burned alive and hit with a blunt object on the head.
Mohammed Abdel Ghani al-Owaiwi added that the autopsy discovered traces of smoke inside the lungs of the 16-year-old and fire dust material was found in Khdeir's respiratory canal. Khdeir was buried in occupied East al-Quds on Friday, two days after his body was found in a forest. Palestinians have staged protests over the past days, and clashed with Israeli forces in East al-Quds and other occupied territories.
Meanwhile, a 15-year-old, American-born cousin of Muhammad had been brutally beaten and then arrested by Israeli police officers during a violent clash in the neighborhood on Thursday, only increased the outrage Saturday in Shuafat and among Palestinians elsewhere. Israeli officers acted violently against this protest that led to dozens of injuries and 33 arrests.
Afterwards, the Zionist regime unleashed many airstrikes on the Gaza Strip that reportedly left more than 700 dead and more than 5000 inured. Palestinian resistance groups responded Israelis brutal airstrikes by firing rockets at some major cities in the occupied lands, further than had previously been reached.
