Terrorist in Bnei Brak attack named; Palestinian terror groups hail killings

Palestinian terror groups praise the deadly shooting attack in Bnei Brak that left five Israelis dead, although none takes responsibility for the slaughter.

“The Tel Aviv operation emphasizes the unity of the Palestinian people everywhere they live,” Hamas official Mushir al-Masri tells a radio station affiliated with the terror group.

Islamic Jihad also praises the attack — the third in the past week.

“This is the harbinger of our people’s operations to come deep inside the [Zionist] entity,” senior Islamic Jihad official Ahmad al-Mudalil says.

One perpetrator, named as 26-year-old Diaa Hamarsheh from Ya’abad, near Jenin, was shot and killed by police on the scene. In videos from social media, a few dozen young Palestinian men can be seen gathering in the town chanting slogans supporting the gunmen.
