GAZA CITY (AFP)--Hamas on Tuesday welcomed an attack in which a Palestinian man slammed his car into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem, wounding 13, before he was shot dead.
"The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades welcome the operation in Jerusalem, which was a natural and legitimate response by the Palestinian people," the military wing of the Islamist movement said in a statement issued in the Gaza Strip.
"This operation represents the continuation of the holy Jerusalem intifada, a legitimate right and a response ... to the murders, arrests and house demolitions, the judaisation of the holy sites and land expropriations," the statement said.
