Israel Hamas claims responsibility for terrorist attack in Tel Aviv

Islamist Hamas has claimed responsibility for Tuesday evening's terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, which left seven dead and 17 injured. In a statement, the terrorist organization announced that the two perpetrators from the city of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank were its members. At the same time, Hamas threatened further terrorist attacks.

The two men who were shot dead had killed their victims on a city train and at a stop in Jaffa, the Arab-dominated district of the coastal metropolis. One of them had an automatic rifle, the other a knife. The victims were reportedly train passengers and passers-by.

Israel has been waging war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip since October 7 last year. Almost a year ago, the Islamist terrorist militia and its allies attacked southern Israel, killing more than 1,200 people.
