The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups praise the deadly attack near Eli as a “natural response” to the crimes of the occupation.
“This is a natural response to the escalation and crimes of the occupation against the Palestinian people,” Islamic Jihad says.
“The reaction was swift against the crimes of the occupation in the Jenin refugee camp and the storming of Al-Aqsa,” Hamas says.
Yesterday six Palestinians were killed in an IDF raid on Jenin, while eight Israeli soldiers were wounded when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle.
Neither terror group went as far as to claim responsibility for the attack.
