Hamas claims responsibility for shooting attack in Tel Aviv

The armed wing of Hamas claimed responsibility on Wednesday for a shooting and stabbing attack that killed seven people in Israeli commercial hub Tel Aviv the previous day.

“The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades takes responsibility for the heroic Jaffa operation carried out by the fighters from the (occupied West Bank) city of Hebron,” the group said in a statement, referring to the attack that took place near the Tel Aviv light rail station in Jaffa on Tuesday.
