Islamic Jihad says West Bank stabbing attack in response to ‘Zionist terror’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Islamic Jihad terror group releases a statement praising the fatal stabbing attack in the West Bank earlier today, according to the Islamic Jihad-linked Palestine Today.
Islamic Jihad also describes the attack “as a natural response to the aggression and crimes that the Zionist terror perpetrates at the expense of the Palestinian people, land and holy sites.”
Earlier on Sunday, a 17-year-old Palestinian from Yatta, a village south of Hebron, stabbed an American-Israeli man at the Gush Etzion Junction in the central West Bank.
The man, who succumbed to his wounds at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center, was later identified as Ari Fuld, a 45-year-old father of four from the Efrat settlement.
