This was a very severe terrorist attack in which two Israelis
were brutally murdered and a third citizen was also wounded.
The security forces are in pursuit of the reprehensible murderer.
I am certain that they will apprehend him, and I am
also certain that we will deal with him to the fullest extent
of the law and quickly. On behalf of myself and all
government ministers I would like to send condolences to the families
of the two people who were murdered and our hopes
and prayers for a swift recovery for the wounded.
Hamas blesses this guerrilla operation which took place
in Nablus this morning. This operation affirms
that the rebelling young people in the West Bank are keeping
the resistance as an option and are sticking to resist against
the (Israeli) occupation and the settlers.
It also comes as a reaction to their (Israelis) crimes against our
sacred sites and the demolishing of the Palestinian villages.
And it sends a great message from the rebelling people in
the West Bank to their rebelling brothers in the Gaza Strip
who are holding great return marches to break the siege.
The message says that we are one nation and we face the same destiny.
A short time ago I spoke with President Putin.
We agreed to meet soon in order to continue the important security
coordination between our armies. Israel will act at all times to prevent
Iran from establishing a military presence in Syria and to thwart
the transfer of lethal weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
