The military wing of the Hamas terror group claims responsibility for an attack on Israeli forces near the northern West Bank city of Nablus this morning.
In a statement, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades says the three slain gunmen — Noureddine Tayseer al-Ardah, 32, Montaser Bahjat Ali Salameh, 33, and Saad Maher al-Kharraz, 43 — were members.
Al-Qassam says it honors the trio who carried out the attack at the entrance to a small Samaritan community, calling them “fighters” and “heroes of the heroic Nablus operation.”
No soldiers were hurt in the attack.
