Al Qassam website - The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on Sunday hailed
the stabbing of an Israeli extremist settler near Jerusalem’s Buraq Wall,
saying the move was quite anticipated and a "natural reaction".

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a press statement Sunday afternoon
the stabbing act is just the expected retort to Israel’s terror campaigns
and vandalism against the Palestinian people and Muslims’ sanctuaries in
Occupied Jerusalem.

Hamas’s statement came out following claims released by the Israeli police
spokesperson that an Israeli settler sustained moderate injuries after he
was stabbed by an Arab youth in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The attack, which observers also said was a normal reaction to Israeli
settler vandalism, has been used as a pretext by the Israeli occupation army
to step up assaults and mass-abduction campaigns in Occupied Jerusalem.

By-standers at the scene said the Israeli police have been cordoning off
Jerusalem’s streets and pitched makeshift barriers in an attempt to crack
down on the Palestinian civilian youngsters.

The policemen were further deployed at bus stations and launched provocative
investigation operations against Palestinian passengers at and around the
depots.

Israeli policemen broke into a number of Palestinian commercial stores
allegedly in search for surveillance cameras.

The attack culminated in sealing off Muslims’ holy al-Aqsa Mosque with a
chain of flying metal barriers meant to hound the peaceful Muslim
congregation and deny them access into the Mosque to perform their religious
prayers within.
