DAMASCUS, (PIC)– Political bureau member of Hamas Ezzet Al-Resheq has said that his movement was not involved in the Itamar attack near Nablus.

He affirmed in a statement late Saturday that Hamas and other Palestinian resistance factions do not target children.

The Hamas leader did not rule out the possibility that the attack was carried out by other settlers similar to what happened in previous criminal attacks that shook Israeli society.
