Hamas praises Jerusalem area stabbing attack, but doesn’t take responsibility for it
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas praises a stabbing attack that injured two Israeli civilians earlier today at a hotel outside Jerusalem.
In a statement, the terror group calls the attack at Kibbutz Tzuba a “heroic stabbing attack” which deals a “new blow to the occupation’s security apparatus.”
Hamas does not take responsibility for the stabbing.
The suspected assailant, an employee at the hotel who lives in East Jerusalem’s Shuafat neighborhood, took a knife to two male guests, moderately injuring a 23-year-old and seriously injuring a 50-year-old. Both were taken to the hospital.
He was overpowered and restrained by an off-duty cop who had been staying at the hotel, police said earlier today.
