Al-Qassam Website - The Joint Chamber of Palestinian Resistance Factions issued a statement today, mourning the martyrdom of Palestinian freedom fighters in the occupied refugee camp of Jenin.

The citizens of Jenin have displayed unwavering resilience in the face of the brutal Israeli occupation forces, making great sacrifices for their cause, the statement read.

Since late Sunday night, the Israeli occupation forces have been launching a full-scale offensive against the densely populated camp in a failed attempt to crush the Palestinian resistance in the occupied West Bank.

In response to this vicious aggression, the Joint Chamber of Palestinian Resistance Factions released the following statement:

"First: We salute the Palestinian freedom fighters in occupied Jenin who have been steadfastly standing against the hideousness of the Israeli occupation. We also salute the Palestinian people who embrace and safeguard the resistance fighters.

Second: The chamber is in an ongoing session to closely monitor the barbaric aggression on Jenin. The Palestinian resistance will not allow the occupation forces to encroach upon the people of Jenin and single them out.

Third: The continuation of the aggression against Jenin and the behaviour of the occupation forces will determine the nature of the resistance's response.

Fourth: We call upon the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank and the neighbouring cities of Jenin to support occupied Jenin and confront the Israeli occupation forces. We urge the resistance fighters in all arenas to remain prepared to respond to the brutal aggression should it persist."
