"The fedayee (commando) attacks against Zionist targets would escalate amid an escalation of the Zionist terrorism, mainly in Jerusalem and the West Bank," said Abu Obeida, spokesman of Hamas armed wing al-Qassam Brigades.
On Wednesday, 12 Palestinians were injured when armed Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village near the southern West Bank town of Hebron, witnesses and medical sources said.
Abu Obeida, told the group's website "as long as the Zionists escalate their attacks on our people and on holy Jerusalem, our attacks would be escalated too."
He also said that his movement doesn't see any difference between the new government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the previous governments. "They are all fanatics and terrorists and have been committing crimes."
