Al Jazeera reports that Hamas had taken responsibility for yesterday’s deadly shooting attack near Hebron, citing a source within the Gaza-based terror group.
This would contradict yesterday’s announcement by the Fatah movement’s military wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade, which claimed its fighters were the ones responsible for the attack that killed 42-year-old Batsheva Nigri.
