Hamas official praises ‘hero’ who carried out Hebron shooting attack

Ismail Radwan, a senior Hamas official in Gaza, praised a Monday shooting attack in which a woman was murderedin front of her six-year-old daughter.

The attack left a man in serious condition.

“We praise the hero who carried out the act in Hebron and the opposition/battle which is escalating in the [West] Bank,” Radwan said, adding that “the act in Hebron was carried out as part of the natural response to the continued crimes of the occupation against Al-Aqsa [Mosque], the [security] prisoners, and our Palestinian nation.”

In an interview with Hamas’ Al-Aqsa television channel, Radwan said, “The fire which broke out in Al-Aqsa [Mosque] 54 years ago is still burning due to the ongoing harm done to it by the settlers.” Therefore, he said, “The act in Hebron on the date when we mark the fire of Al-Aqsa [Mosque] comes to tell us that the opposition will continue to be the shield which protects the holy places.”
