The Islamic militant group Hamas issued a statement Wednesday claiming responsibility for two suicide bombings a day earlier that killed 15 people and wounded dozens.

We all knew it.
In a statement faxed to The Associated Press, Hamas’ military wing, Izzedine al Qassam, said the two bombers who carried out the attacks were Hamas members Ramez Abu Isleem, 24, and Ihab Abdel Kader Abu Isleem, 20. Despite having the same family name, the two weren’t believed to be close relatives. "These two operations came as the beginning of our retaliation for the enemy’s crimes against our people," the statement said.
| "We're providing them with another justification for whacking our top brass and the rest of the world's not going to say a thing because the blood's not dried yet..." |
"We send our greeting to the cells that shared in the implementation of the two operations, and we call upon them to carry out more," the Hamas military wing said.
| "Maybe we should change the sign to read 'Kick Me HARD'"... |
"From now on it has become allowed for them to target the Zionists’ houses and buildings and to destroy them in retaliation for the enemy policy of targeting civilian houses. We hold the criminal enemy responsible for what’s going to happen in the future, God willing," Hamas said in the statement.
And we are holding you responsible.
| "We are Arabs. We are incapable of controlling our own actions..." |
The statement’s headline read: "We are capable of reaching the depths of our occupied land. Then wait for more." |
