The Hamas terrorist group’s military branch on Tuesday praised a deadly West Bank shooting as “heroic,” saying the killing of an Israeli man, Rabbi Raziel Shevach, near Nablus was a reminder to Israel that “what you feared is coming.”

“The attack in Nablus is the first practical response to remind the enemy’s leaders and those behind them (the United States) that what you feared is coming,” said the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in a rare statement, according to the Ynet news site. “The West Bank will remain a knife in your body.”
