Hamas’ armed wing has claimed responsibility for a shooting attack in the West Bank on Monday that left three Israelis dead. According to a statement, the attack was carried out in response to Israel’s “aggressive policies” and “crimes” against Palestinians. The shooting occurred in the town of Ariel, where a group of Israeli settlers were attacked while driving on a road. The Israeli military responded with a raid on the nearby city of Nablus, where several Palestinians were injured. The violence comes amid a surge in tensions in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers and Palestinian militants have clashed in recent days. The Israeli government has vowed to take tough action against Palestinian militants, while Palestinian leaders have accused Israel of perpetuating a “cycle of violence” against their people.
