Hamas issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the Israeli defense minister's orders for the IDF to take over security control in Judea and Samaria, according to The Jerusalem Post. The statement follows the IDF's decision to lift its ban on Palestinian workers entering Israeli communities in the region, a restriction imposed after the terror attack at Gilad Farm on Friday. Hamas's criticism reflects the group's opposition to Israeli security operations in Judea and Samaria, which the IDF maintains are necessary to prevent future attacks.
