Hamas Calls on Followers to Murder Israelis
Hamas issued an official call on Sunday night asking its followers to murder Israeli Jews wherever possible. Those who follow the call would be fulfilling the Muslim command of jihad, according to Hamas.
The statement released by Hamas asks Muslims to take whatever weapons they manage to obtain and to kill Jews wherever they find them, without hesitation. “The time has come,” the group said, “to kill the occupier.”
