The Hamas official Abdel Rahman Shadid has said the heroic Ashkelon shooting attack comes as a natural response to Israel’s genocidal war carried out in the Gaza Strip.
He added in a press statement on Friday that the attack was meant to make Israel pay for its crimes and daily massacres against the Palestinian people.
Shadid added that “maintaining resistance attacks against the Israeli occupation is the duty and responsibility of Palestinians on the obligatory path towards liberation of our land, people and sanctities.”
The Hamas official called on the Palestinian people to carry on with their resistance operations, urging them to launch more strikes against the Israeli occupation forces by all available means.
Earlier on Friday, six Jewish settlers were killed or wounded in a shooting attack that targeted settlers at a bus stop in Kiryat Malachi settlement near the city of Ashkelon in 1948 Occupied Palestine (Israel).
