GAZA, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement said Tuesday the shooting that killed four Israelis near the West Bank city of Hebron was "an expected response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation."
"The armed operation in Hebron emphasizes the presence of the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank" despite Palestinian security programs "that aim at cutting up the resistance," Hamas' military wing Ezz El-Deen Al-Qassam Brigades said in a brief statement.
Israeli police said that an Israeli car came under Palestinian fire near the Kyriat Arba Jewish settlement and four travelers were killed.
The attack came two days before Israel and Palestinians resume their direct peace talks in Washington after nearly 15 months of stall.
