Hamas has taken responsibility for the fatal shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv that unfolded on Tuesday just as Iran was launching a ballistic missile barrage on Israel.

Seven people were killed in the attack, and 16 people were injured, the Israel Police Spokesperson’s Unit and Shin Bet said in a joint statement Wednesday. The two alleged attackers were also killed, police said.

In a statement Wednesday, Hamas’ military wing claimed responsibility for the attack.

    Israel has fronts in Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon and conflict with Yemens Houthis and Iran+ Iran backed militias in Iraq and Syria. People in Jordan are getting fed up and celebrating people who attacked the Israeli occupation forces in the Westbank.

    Israel decided to escalate things in the Westbank and now with Hezbollah, where before the conflict remained on a low, but also provoking Iran and Syria with attacks in the recent months.

    Most Analysts say that this is because the IDF and Netanyahu need some wins, after failing to achieve the stated goals “destroy Hamas” and “bring back the Hostages” militarily and discontent has risen. Now with killing some Hezbollah leaders public opinion became favorable again. Hamas is countering that with pointing out the strategic failure in Gaza through this terroristic attack.
