In a statement, Hamas has condemned the Israeli military’s killing of Ra’iq Abdul Rahman Bishara, Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s senior member previously jailed by Israel, and promised to keep resisting Israel’s occupation, Al Jazeera reports.

“As we mourn the martyred freed prisoner Ra’iq Abdul Rahman Bisharat […], we affirm that our people and their resistance will not rest until the occupation is expelled from our land and holy sites,” said Hamas.

It said that Israel’s war on Gaza and deadly attacks in the occupied West Bank “compels us all to unite”.
