Hamas and Islamic Jihad release a joint statement after the two organizations are targeted in a series of car bombs earlier Sunday, believed to be carried out by an IS affiliate.

The two terror groups blame “Israel collaborators” for the string of attacks, according to Israel Radio, and vow to track down the assailants.
