Barhoum: Releasing murderer of Sharif is systematic terrorism

The media spokesman of Hamas Movement, Fawzi Barhoum, said that the Israeli releasing of the killer of martyr Abdul Fattah al-Sharif in al-Khalil city indicates a systematic state terrorism and represents a reward given to the criminal which officially encourages killing.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Barhoum said this decision requires the international community as well as organizations to accelerate issuing deterrent sanctions against Israeli occupation in order to put an end to Israeli crimes and violations.

Israeli occupation authorities released at dawn Tuesday the Israeli soldier Elor Azaria who killed martyr Sharif by direct shooting in the head on March 24, 2016 despite being injured and constituted no threat to Israeli soldiers, according to a video tape.
