Mr Ainsworth Would you categorise this incident as a cowardly terrorist killing of innocent civilians or a proud and defiant gesture by freedom fighters seeking to liberate their homeland ? I note Hamas do not claim responsibility but praised the attack. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c4ge24r66r7t 'Six Israelis have been killed and eight others wounded by Palestinian gunmen in one of the deadliest shooting attacks in Jerusalem in the past few years. Israeli police said "two terrorists arrived in a vehicle" and opened fire towards a bus stop at Ramot Junction, on the city's northern outskirts. An off-duty soldier and a civilian returned fire, "neutralising" the attackers, it added. Israeli media identified the dead as five men, aged between 25 and 79, and a 60-year-old woman. Local hospitals said two of the wounded were in a serious condition. There was no immediate claim from any armed groups, although Hamas praised the attack'. |
