Two Hamas members kill three in morning rush hour attack
Attackers were brothers, shot dead at the scene
Attack comes on seventh day of Gaza truce

JERUSALEM, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Two Hamas gunmen killed three people at a Jerusalem bus stop during morning rush hour on Thursday, and Israel reiterated its commitment to wiping out the Palestinian Islamist faction, whose Oct. 7 killing spree triggered the Gaza war.

The attackers, Palestinians from East Jerusalem, were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian, police said. At least eight people were also wounded in the shooting.

"The terrorists arrived at the scene by car in the morning, armed with an M-16 rifle and a handgun," police said. "The terrorists began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene."

Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction, claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem attack, deeming it "heroic".

Hamas sure does like attacking civilians.

It's far easier to target those that can't or won't fight back.

It's what an insurgency looks like, proto isreali terrorist groups did literally the same shit.

And Israel sure does love culling up to 1.3% of the population of Gaza

Israel's military actions are far too broad and far too disproportionate of a response. They should be allowed to defend their civilians though, however what they are doing now goes way beyond defense.

It's especially stupid because it hardens the Israeli people even more against hamas and makes them less willing to work with Palestinians when their government members do stuff like this.

That is literally the point. Violent extremist movements are directly incentivized to make peaceful solutions impossible so that they remain as the only possible option and thus retain power.

Not stupid if the plan is to get Israel to retaliate and pull more factions in

Isn't this just revenge for the two Palestinian children killed a few days ago? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/israel-kills-two-children-in-latest-raid-on-jenin-refugee-camp

I still don't condone murder of civilians, but it's not just for the fun of it.

Both sides do. Israel just gets to hide behind the "civilized" war because they have jets.
