The Hamas terror group claims responsibility for Friday night’s dual car bombing attack in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank.

Hamas says the two killed terrorists were members of the group.

In a statement, Hamas’s military wing takes “full responsibility” for the attack, during which a car bomb was detonated at a gas station, and a second car exploded in the settlement of Karmei Tzur.

Three soldiers and a local security officer were inadvertently lightly hurt amid the incidents.
