Hamas claimed responsibility for two armed attacks in Israeli settlements north of Jerusalem on Sunday, according to a statement from the militant group. Israeli authorities said one person was killed and several others were wounded in the attacks, which targeted multiple locations in the central district. The group described the attacks as a response to Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. Hamas said the incidents demonstrated the continuation of its conflict with Israel and that resistance in the West Bank would not stop.
