Abdel-Latif al-Kanou, the spokesman for the Hamas movement, welcomed the shooting attack at Eli Junction in which four Israelis were murdered, whom he called “herds of settlers”.
“The act of heroism was carried out in response to the aggression of the Zionist occupation last night in the city of Jenin, and it joins the escalating attacks by the struggle organizations in Jenin, Silwad and everywhere else,” said Al-Kanou.
Al-Kanou added: “Our Palestinian people will not break in the face of the power of the occupation, and the Palestinian struggle organizations will continue with attacks, and their response will be with all their might against the crimes of the Zionist occupation, the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the expulsion of worshipers from its premises, and the ongoing attacks against (the) Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

“We encourage our fighters and the revolutionaries of our people everywhere, because they are the ones who strike the enemy with effective operations, with planned ambushes and explosive charges until he is eliminated from all our lands.”
The Palestinian journalist Muhammad al-Qiq noted that “the Palestinian struggle organizations changed the equation with the Zionist entity in the occupied West Bank and the shooting attack in Ramallah (in the settlement of Eli) proved this.”
Calls were published on social media to destroy the security camera videos to protect the perpetrators and prevent IDF forces from reaching them.
In Jenin and Gaza, celebrations were reported in response to the attack on the murder of the Israelis, and residents handed out pastries and sweets to passers-by.
