Hamas welcomed the terrorist attack, urging the Israeli Arabs to join the “resistance”

“The operation should be considered as a response to the crimes of the invaders on the western coast, in Gaza and Jerusalem, murders, destruction, ethnic cleaning on the western bank, the siege of the Gaza, plans to expel the population from the Jordan Valley and the continuing desecration of the al-aqua mosque,” the statement said.

Hamas also addresses the Israeli Arabs: “In this sacred month of struggle and victories, we call the masses on the western shore, in Jerusalem and inside the occupied territory. Build resistance, act by all possible means until the resistance will free our land and shrine, expel the invaders, creating an independent Palestinian state with the capital in Jerusalem.”
