Hamas movement has mourned the death of Palestinian child Mohammed Daadas, 13, who was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus.

Hamas condemned the heinous crime as a continuation of the Israeli occupation’s terror against the Palestinian people.

"The child’s blood fuels the Palestinian freedom struggle against the Israeli occupation, which will continue until liberation, return, and independence," said the movement in a statement.

"On this sad occasion, we call on the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority to halt security coordination with the Israeli occupation and stop stifling Palestinian freedom fighters," it added.

"Hamas believes that the PA’s conduct encourages the Israeli occupation to escalate crimes against the Palestinian people, the last of which is the killing of Mohammed Daadas."
