Hamas terrorists open fire on Israeli community of Bat Hefer from eastern side of West Bank separation barrier near Tulkarm
A video released by Hamas shows the attackers, identifiable by Hamas headbands, driving toward the separation barrier, exiting their car with weapons, approaching the fence and opening fire.
Historically, when attackers documented shootings from areas like Nablus or Jenin toward nearby Israeli settlements, Hamas compensated them with payments ranging from several hundred to 1,500 shekels ($400). The aim of the terrorist organization is not only to target Israeli settlements but also to send a message and disseminate it through video footage.
In response to the escalating violence, Galit Shaul, head of the Emek Hefer Regional Council, sent an urgent letter to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in which she requested an emergency discussion on security for the councils settlements along the separation barrier.

(8,541 posts)the same "freedom fighters" that openly rejoiced with fellow Palestinians after they beheaded babies, tortured/dismembered children as their parents watched, gang raped women/cutting off their breasts, setting the elderly and disabled on fire, torching a kibbutz, turning a music festival into a killing field, kidnapping hundreds of Israelis and systematically killing their captives..those "freedom fighters"??...the same "freedom fighters" determined to wipe Israel off the map and annihilate all Jews, all 2% of us worldwide???...
unsolicited advice from the child of Holocaust survivors to Hamas and every Arab terrorist organization...do not start a war with Israel unless you are willing to pay the price...
