The Palestinian group says Israel’s decision to expand its operations in Jenin governorate and other parts of the northern occupied West Bank reveals its “dangerous intention to persist [in] the war of extermination”, Al Jazeera reports.

Hamas also called for a “unified front” against “Israel’s forced displacement campaigns” that have affected more than 40,000 residents from the Jenin, Tulkarem, Nur Shams and Far’a refugee camps.

The group also dismissed a statement by Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz — who said the Israeli army will stay in the West Bank’s refugee camps for the next year — as “an illusion that will not come true”.
