Hamas, Jihad praise deadly West Bank attack

Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Monday praised a shooting attack on Israeli cars near Hebron, which left one person dead and two others wounded.

A spokesman for Islamic Jihad called the attack "a natural response to Israeli crimes," while Hamas said the shooting was "the response to the crimes of the occupation, and the repeated assaults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and against our prisoners in Israel jails."

The Hamas official also called for West Bank attacks on Israelis to be intensified. Neither organization claimed responsibility for the shooting. (Elior Levy)
