Hamas hails Palestinian Heros’ Tel Aviv operation

Hamas spokesman Husam Badran has described the “heroic” operation in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening as “the first good harbingers of the holy month of Ramadan and the first surprise that awaits the occupation state during the month.” In a press release on Wednesday, Badran hailed as “heroes” the Palestinians who carried out the Tel Aviv attack that led to the killing of four Israelis and the injury of seven others, four seriously.

He said that the attackers were able to break the prestige of Israel’s security system and strike its citizens in their safest haven. The Hamas spokesman added that the shooters’ success in entering the 1948 occupied lands and executing their operation near the Israeli ministry of war reflected the failure of all Israeli measures aimed at undermining the intifada (uprising) and killing the spirit of resistance in the hearts of the Palestinian youth.

For his part, Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said that the Tel Aviv shooting attack was “a natural response to Israel’s persistent desecration of the Aqsa Mosque and its crimes against the Palestinian people.” In press remarks on Thursday, Abu Zuhri stated that all the conspiracies and the attempts by the security forces of the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian Authority to abort the intifada would be doomed to failure.
