Hamas Claims Responsibility for Suicide Bombing in Netanya
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas Friday afternoon claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing attack in Israel's northern coastal city of Netanya, which left at least five people dead, including the bomber.
According to a statement released by Hamas, the bomber was identified as the 20-year-old Mahmud Ahmed Maramashe from the West Bank city of Tulkaram near Netanya city.
At least five people were killed and 57 others wounded, some seriously, in the suicide blast at the entrance to the Hasharon shopping mall in Netanya, some 30 kilometers north of Tel Aviv.
This was the most deadly bombing attack since the Israeli- Palestinian violence erupted late last September.
