Islamic Hamas movement's military wing Al-Qassam brigades called Sunday for the continuation of the "uprising and activating all means in resisting and confronting the occupation" in rejection of the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Al-Qassam Brigades said in an official statement sent to reporters "we call upon our people to continue this Intifada, and to activate all means of resisting and confronting the occupation."

The statement warned that "the enemy will pay the bill of an arduous expense for the aggression, treachery and criminality against our people," adding "the coming days will prove to the enemy its great error and its misjudgment of the will and determination of the armed resistance."

Two Hamas militants died Saturday after Israel shelled a military training camp in northern Gaza, according to the Al-Qassam announcement.

Four Palestinians were killed and over 1,000 others were injured in clashes that lasted over the past three days in West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, against the U.S. move on Jerusalem.
