Hamas hails Tel Aviv killings
A Hamas spokesman in Gaza hails the Tel Aviv attack as proof that the Palestinians can strike at Israelis anywhere.
Channel 2 reports that police do not consider this to be a claim of responsibility.
Even though a Koran was found in the gunman’s backpack, the police say this is not conclusive proof of the killer’s motivation.
