The Hamas terror group takes responsibility for Monday’s deadly terror shooting attack in the West Bank village of al-Funduq in which two Israeli women and a police officer were killed.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, says the operation was carried out jointly with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades terror groups.
Hamas also says that the mastermind of the attack was Jaafar Ahmed Dababseh, who was killed yesterday by IDF troops in the West Bank village of Talluza, near Nablus.
The three terrorists who carried out the shooting are still at large.
Hamas provides no proof of its involvement in the attack.
