Hamas Commemorates the 32nd Anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre: Occupiers’ Crimes Are Timeless

In a statement marking the 32nd anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas declared that the crimes of the occupiers will never be subject to the passage of time. These actions, they assert, cannot alter historical truths or the will of the people. Hamas has called for the activation of legal proceedings against the leaders of the occupying regime for their crimes against the nation, its land, and its sanctities.

Hamas highlighted the ongoing assaults and actions of the occupying government in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. The anniversary of the tragic events of February 25, 1994, coincides with continued repressive policies. On that fateful day, coinciding with the fifteenth of Ramadan, an individual named Baruch Goldstein opened fire on worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, resulting in the deaths of 29 individuals and injuring many others.

The statement emphasized that this incident illustrates the violent nature of occupation and is part of a series of similar events targeting civilians in the years before and after. Hamas also referenced the current developments in Gaza, viewing them as a continuation of the same oppressive trend.Furthermore Hamas criticized the actions of the Israeli regime in Islamic and Christian holy sites in the West Bank particularly at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. They asserted that these actions are blatant violations of international laws and norms executed within the framework of annexation and settlement policies.

The movement stressed that the crimes of the Israeli regime including genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza since the onset of occupation will never be forgotten nor will the determination of the people to resist and endure be weakened. Hamas also held the occupying regime accountable for the consequences of actions related to the Ibrahimi Mosque and the old city of Hebron urging international organizations especially UNESCO to fulfill their legal and ethical responsibilities to halt these actions and address violations.

In conclusion the movement paid tribute to the martyrs and called upon the people to continue their solidarity and resilience in striving for freedom and independence.
