Hamas: terror attack is response to killing of bus driver in J'lem and crimes in al-Aqsa

An official Hamas statement stated that Tuesday's terror attack in Jerusalem was a response to the death of bus driver Yusuf Hassan al-Ramouni, who was found hanged at Har Hotzvim bus terminal Sunday night.

While al-Ramouni's family claimed foul play, autopsy results confirmed police's suspicion of suicide on Monday afternoon.

Hamas said the attack was also a response to "the ongoing Israeli crimes at al-Aqsa. The Hamas organization calls for the continuation of acts of revenge".
