Hamas has taken responsibility for the shooting attack in Jordan Valley, which killed an Israeli and injured another earlier today.
In a statement, the military wing of Hamas, Qassam Brigades, identified the man as 23-year-old Yonatan Deutsch, who was killed in the attack near an illegal Israeli settlement, and said he was a “Zionist soldier”.
It said the attack on the Israeli soldier comes as a response to the killing of more than a 100 people in Tabin school in Gaza on Saturday, stating that Hamas fighters in the occupied West Bank have "renewed their allgiance" to the new Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
