The Al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the “Ariel” settlement operation, in which 9 Israelis were injured of varying severity, and said that what it described as the extremist Zionist government would pay the price for its decisions targeting the West Bank.
The Israeli occupation army radio reported that the perpetrator of the attack came from Nablus and opened fire on a bus coming from Tel Aviv, before soldiers guarding the crossroads were able to kill him.
This operation coincided with incursions carried out by a special force of the occupation army in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus. After the operation, the occupation forces sent additional military reinforcements to the town and carried out a massive raid and search campaign.
