BREAKING
Hamas claims its members were behind Jerusalem attack
Hamas has claimed the gunmen who carried out this morning's Jerusalem shooting that killed three people were its members, as per a Telegram channel affiliated with the group.In a statement, Hamas said that "the operation came as a natural response to unprecedented crimes conducted by the occupation," citing Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The statement also called for "an escalation of the resistance," news agency AFP said.
The attack in Jerusalem this morning, which happened at around 07:30 on a busy road that is one of the entrances to Jerusalem, is another sign of heightened tensions in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories, amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Three people - two women aged 24 and 67, and a 73-year-old man - were killed. Three hours later, the area had already been cleared by the authorities.
the Israeli security agency, has identified the attackers - who were shot dead - as Palestinian brothers Murad Nemer, 38, and Ibrahim, 30. Both were residents of East Jerusalem, and had been separately imprisoned for "terrorist activities". Murad, the agency said, had spent 10 years in prison, between 2010 and 2020.
