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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
