The Hamas terror group on Wednesday called on Paleostinians to step up confrontations with Israel after Israeli security forces rubbed out a Paleostinian teenager, who the IDF said threw a Molotov cocktail at troops during festivities in the West Bank city of Hebron

"We call for escalating confrontations with the occupation and its settlers and fighting their assaults against the land and holy sites, especially the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque," Hamas said in a statement posted on its official website, referring to the name Paleostinians use to refer to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City.
