Jerusalem – Hamas and Islamic Jihad hailed Wednesday’s terrorist act by an east Jerusalem resident who rammed his car into a crowd of commuters at a light rail station, killing a three-month old infant and injuring seven others.

“The attack in Jerusalem is an act of heroism and a natural response to the crimes of the occupation against our people and our holy places,” said Mushir al-Masri, a senior Hamas spokesperson.
“The attack in Jerusalem is a natural response to what is taking place in the city, given the harassment and overall attacks of Judaization affecting our holy places and Muslims,” said another Hamas official, Salah Baradwil.
Hamas warned that the latest developments may augur the next “Palestinian intifada in Jerusalem.”
Islamic Jihad released an official statement on Thursday through its military wing, the Al-Quds Brigade, saying: “There is Zionist aggression against all of our people, and today the resistance responded to this attack. This is a natural right.”
“This attack is a strong response to the Israeli occupation, whose crimes are unable to break the resistance,” the organization said.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad called on the Palestinian Authority to “halt its security coordination with Israel and to act in resistance in the West Bank.”
The two groups also praised the residents of east Jerusalem “for their fierce stance against the crimes of the occupation.”

A cowardly terror attack killing an innocent Israeli child and injuring others……yet hardly a blip in the media. One can only imagine the hullabaloo if an Israeli ran into a Palestinian crowd.
We live in a disgusting world where lies are told and believed, an Opera at the NY Metropolitan Opera House makes a hero out of Terrorists, our politicians talk in Double Speak and twist the facts to suit their needs, and no outcry by the people.
It is becoming hard to take.
One can’t help but admire the courage required to kill a defenseless infant.
If Israel does not eliminate hamas,it will have only itself to blame.
Down the road how will they handle Hezbollah? ISIS ?
hamas is the little league and look at the trouble they are causing
Remember the world outcry and condemnations against. Israel during the Gaza war when any Pali child was hurt???? WHERE IS THE U.N. AND WORLD OUTRAGE WHEN THE VICTIMS ARE JEWS?????? Obama, ban-ki-moon y”s, why the silence???
Gee, you’d think the UN would be a bit upset at hamas for this, no? Doesn’t bode well for the terror group whom banki moon and the Europeans claim wants peace with Israel!
“heroism” by murdering an innocent infant..huh?!
The acts of celebration is nothing new in the world of the barbarism of Islamists, what really is a wonder where is the outcry of all condemning Israel when they unintentional kill in the cross of fire. Let alone that no one in Israel is proud of that act.
Only the lowest of savages can celebrate the murder of infants. How can anyone demand peace with those kinds of subhumans is beyond anyone’s comprehension!
