Hawzah News Agency – Hamas Palestinian Resistance movement slammed Turkey and Bahrain Friday night for condemning Tel Aviv operation which killed three Israelis earlier on Thursday.

“We were surprised by the condemnation. Resistance is the protection of people and holy places and is a right enshrined in international law,” the Palestinian group said.

“Israel’s aggressive policy against the Palestinian people is one of the causes of terrorism and racism around the world.”

Raad Fathi Hazem, 28 from Jenin, opened fire at Israeli bar in Dizengoff Street, killing three Israelis and injuring several others.

Hazem threw the Zionist entity into confusion as occupation forces failed to arrest him. He stayed for several hours on the run before being martyred following a firefight with IOF near a mosque in Jaffa.

The operation in Tel Aviv is the fourth in two weeks. Three other attacks took place in the occupied territories. In total, 14 Israelis have been killed and many others have been injured.
