Israeli PM blames Hamas for terrorist attack in Jerusalem
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Palestinian group Hamas of involvement in the terrorist attack that took place in Jerusalem, as well as in the events in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
"Every Hamas terrorist is a son of death in Jerusalem, in Gaza, in the West Bank, everywhere," Israeli news website Yedioth Ahronoth quotes Netanyahu as saying.
He said he was very grateful to the civilians and soldiers who helped eliminate the terrorists.
Netanyahu stressed that he will continue to push for expansions to the articles of the law on the carrying of weapons by civilians, as this has proven to be effective.
Three people were killed and six were wounded, two of them seriously, in a terror shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem on November 30 morning, police and medics said.
According to police, at around 7:40 a.m. two Palestinian gunmen got out of a vehicle on Weizman Street at the main entrance to the capital and opened fire at people at a bus stop.
Police said two off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian in the area returned fire, killing the two terrorists.
