Hamas praises Gush Etzion's "heroic" attack

The Hamas terror organization on Monday expressed support for the terrorist who carried out the Gush Etzion bombing, in which three soldiers were wounded.

Hamas called the attack "heroic action" and described the terrorist Ramzi Abu al-Yabas, who perpetrated the attack and was shot and killed by Israeli security forces, in as a "hero".

Hamas also stressed that "resistance is the path chosen by the Palestinian people and will continue in this way despite Israeli activities".

The organization has threatened that the attack is not the last and said that other attacks were planned in the near future as part of the resistance against Israel.

The attack took place on Highway 60 in the Gush Etzion area, south of Jerusalem, around 12:15 pm Monday.

The three soldiers were involved in engineering works on the road when they were hit by a vehicle driven by the terrorist, who fled immediately after the attack before being killed by ball.
