The military wing of the Hamas terror group takes responsibility for the shooting attack near the West Bank city of Ariel earlier today, in which at least eight people were wounded including three seriously.
Hamas says the gunman, Samir Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, 46, from the village of Einabus near Nablus, was a member of the Al-Qassam Brigades.
“The Al-Qassam Brigades announces its responsibility for the shooting operation,” the terror group says in a statement.
Hussein was shot dead by IDF troops at the scene of the attack.
