BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Hamas' armed wing has claimed responsibility for the second shooting attack in two days which injured two Israeli citizens near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday evening.
At around 11 p.m. gunmen shot at a car near Romonim junction, close to the Kochav Hashachar settlement. One man, aged around 30, suffered a gunshot wound to his knee and a woman of a similar age was injured in the resulting crash, the Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post reported.
An Israeli army spokesman said the victims managed to exit the vehicle and escape the scene before climbing back to call for help, the Israeli news site Ynet reported.
In a statement, the Al-Qassam Brigades declared "full responsibility for Ramallah operation caused of injuring two Zionist settlers critically." The group said the attack was "a normal and legal response to Zionist aggressions on the Palestinian civilians" and "part of the repelling operations against the occupation assaults on Gaza Strip and West Bank."
