Facebook has barred Hamas’s account and its related groups after responding to a “wide-ranging and organised complaint campaign”, according to a statement released by the terrorist group.
The terror group said on Wednesday that the social media site had closed online pages that “played a key large role in supporting the Al-Quds intifada” in an attempt to crack down on the use of online groups to incite Palestinian attacks against Israelis.
They said that Hamas pages based “in Ramallah, Galilee, Nablus, Bethlehem, Qalqilya, Salfit, Tubas and Jenin were closed, as well as the page of the Muslim Youth Leage in the West Bank”.
In a move that the group described as a “campaign”, Facebook had also closed “Islamic Bloc pages [based] in West Bank Universities.
