JERUSALEM, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Two Hamas gunmen killed three people at a Jerusalem bus stop during morning rush hour on Thursday, and Israel reiterated its commitment to wiping out the Palestinian Islamist faction, whose Oct. 7 killing spree triggered the Gaza war.

The attackers, Palestinians from East Jerusalem, were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian, police said. At least eight people were also wounded in the shooting.

“The terrorists arrived at the scene by car in the morning, armed with an M-16 rifle and a handgun,” police said. “The terrorists began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene.”

Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem attack, deeming it “heroic”.

      They don’t have a choice. Either kill civilians or get crushed by the military.

      Or give up, which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen.

            They could also apply asymmetric warfare strictly against military targets, and guerilla movements in other conflicts have done exactly that.

            Nobody forces Hamas to murder civilians. It’s something they’re doing out of their own volition.

              You can try to stay on topic and recognize that your analogy is not a 1:1 representation of the situation at hand.
