Hamas claims Ariel terror shooting, says more to come

YnetNews.com reports: “Hamas on Monday claimed responsibility for the terror attack outside the West Bank settlement of Ariel over the weekend and vowed that more attacks are to come.

In the first such statement in years, the terrorist group’s military wing Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades said that the shooting ‘comes within a series of responses to the defiling of our al-Aqsa [Mosque] and aggression against it.’
