Palestinian resistance group: Friday marks first day of escalation and anger

The Palestinian resistance group Lions’ Den has warned that it will respond to Israel’s newly-accelerated destruction of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.

The Nablus-based group said in a statement on Wednesday that the demolition of Palestinian homes in the city of al-Quds will be met with a response that will shatter the security of the occupying regime and its settlers in all West Bank streets.

It also invited the Palestinian people to start civil disobedience and counter the Zionists.

“Friday should mark the first day of intensification of anger and tensions as well as a decisive, sensitive and historic stage that will be recorded in the history of the Palestinian people’s struggle,” it added.

The resistance group had earlier called on Palestinians to put aside party and nomadic discords and stand against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extremist cabinet, which has initiated a new wave of forced evictions and home demolitions targeting Palestinians in a bid to expand illegal Israeli settlements across the Occupied Territories.

In its statement, addressed to Israel’s so-called National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Lions’ Den had warned that its members are thirsty for fighting against Israeli officials and the regime’s cowardly soldiers.

Ben-Gvir has vowed to take a more aggressive stance against Palestinian homes that Israel deems illegal in the Occupied Lands. He has described the building of new settlements as “Israel’s mission and doctrine.”

Earlier this week, UN experts urged the international community to take action against Israel’s systematic and deliberate demolition of homes, arbitrary displacement, and forced expulsion of Palestinians in the West Bank.
