Hamas: Quds operation, natural response to Israel’s terrorism

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri has described Friday’s shooting attack in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') as “a natural response to Israel’s terrorism and its desecration of the Aqsa Mosque.”

In Twitter remarks, Abu Zuhri said that the Aqsa Mosque operation confirmed that the Quds "intifada (uprising) is ongoing and that the Palestinian people stand united behind the resistance.”

Three Palestinian young men from the family of Jabbarin were shot dead on Friday morning at the Aqsa Mosque after they managed to carry out a shooting attack that killed two Israeli troopers and injured a third.
